Park Hye-sang, the first Asian soprano to be signed by Deutsche Grammophon, on Friday released her second album, a project that has engaged her for more than two years.
Park, also known as Hera Park, cited the lyrics of the Seikilos epitaph, one of the oldest surviving examples of a complete musical composition, dated to around the first or second century -- “While you live, since. Have no grief at all.” This gave her the courage to delve deeper into the meaning of death while she was grappling with a sense of helplessness that came with the sudden loss of loved ones, as well as inspiration for her album.

As mother-daughter duo Alice and Nanetta, Ailyn Pérez and Hera Hyesang Park have a Gilmore Girls-esque dynamic; Pérez projects the ultimate cool mom while Park, as ingenue, is vastly more charming than Rory Gilmore. Park has a brilliant soprano–sparkling, clear and deceptively powerful. Pérez is somewhat muted in the first act, and not quite as comedic, but opens up with a more expansive timbre and obvious engagement as the show progresses.

Hera’s Carnegie Hall recital, “Songs of Her,” reflected her essence in many ways. Joined by pianist Katelan Trần Terrell, “Songs of Her” inspired listeners to connect with their own soulful journeys through the universality of the human voice.
...All throughout, she was engaged with her core and managed to share her enthusiasm without compromising her voice when the music became most enlivened.

Christopher Maltman provided solid support as the jealous Ford, even if his tone turned somewhat blustery in his big monologue. While Hera Hyesang Park’s and Bogdan Volkov sounded underpowered to start, they brought an ardent lyricism to their arias in the final act; Park, in particular, showed off a velvety timbre and steely high notes that point towards bigger roles to come. Rounding out the cast, Carlo Bosi, Chauncey Packer and Richard Bernstein brought impeccable comic timing and incisive musicality to their roles.

Hera Hyesang Park’s Rosina is probably the standout assumption, an exceptional role debut in this house. Possessed of a voice of gorgeous timbres, dazzling technical ability allied to evident musical sensitivity and a strong presence she lights up the stage. She brings Rosina the minx to life as most singers of the role can, but there is also an element of vulnerability and pathos that adds flesh and blood to the character. Her comic timing is adept, and the singing-lesson vocal antics and embellishments are hilarious. One of the finest moments is using the short storm interlude of the second Act as a visual depiction of Rosina’s feelings of anger, desperation and frustration, which Park acts well.

Plácido Domingo’s OPERALIA The World Opera Competition
Like the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World, the Operalia is an extremely significant and prestigious competition for aspiring young opera stars and was founded in 1993 by Plácido Domingo to help singers ‘flourish internationally’. There are serious cash prizes and two Rolex watches on offer as well as a potentially major career boost for the 11 opera finalists; five of them were also Zarzuela finalists. Hye Sang Park from South Korea took home second prize and the Zarzuela prize for her extended performance.
