Alla Ossipova: Ulrica, Verdi "Un Ballo in Maschera"
Alla Ossipova (Telegina) was born in the Arctic, in Norilsk, but spent most of her life in Moscow. Starting from childhood Alla was different -- she was dreaming about becoming an autopsist and hated school for trying to make her conform to some standards.
Alla graduated from Moscow State University as a journalist, but didn't work as such. At the University she started singing, first as a soprano, then she went to study with Natalia Pinevich who discovered her true voice -- dramatic mezzo.
Alla graduated from Moscow University of Arts and then immigrated to Canada together with her husband. Her talent continued to grow with the help of vocal teacher Inna Golsband and Alla started singing on Toronto opera stages -- first at Summer Opera Lyric Theatre, then Opera by Request and Toronto Operetta Theatre.
The combination of big, heavy, dark dramatic contralto with the range of 3 octaves and her fiery temperament was the base on which the talent of Alla Ossipova blossomed. Her last role was Fricka in Die Walküre (Wagner).
Alla's life tragically came to an end on December 25th, 2012 when she just turned 38. Alla couldn't make all her dreams come true, but she will always stay in our hearts.
Studio recording, August 22, 2011
Алла Осипова (Телегина) родилась за полярным кругом, в Норильске, но большую часть своей жизни прожила в Москве. Её удивительный независимый характер начал проявляться уже в детстве, когда она мечтала стать патологоанатомом и ненавидела школу за царившую там обязаловку.
Алла закончила факультет журналистики МГУ, но по первой специальности не работала. Зато в МГУ она начала петь как сопрано, затем перешла к педагогу Наталии Пиневич, которая нашла её настоящий голос, драматическое меццо-сопрано.
Алла закончила Московский Университет Культуры и Искусств в 2005 году, после чего вместе с мужем перебралась в Канаду. Её музыкальный талант продолжал развиваться под руководством Инны Голсбанд и Алла начала петь на оперных сценах Торонто - вначале в Summer Opera Lyric Theatre, затем в Opera by Request и Toronto Operetta Theatre.
Сочетание крупного, тяжёлого, тёмного, драматического контральто с диапазоном в 3 октавы и огненного характера стали залогом её творческого роста. Последней её ролью стала Фрика из Валькирии Вагнера.
Жизнь Аллы Осиповой трагически оборвалась 25 декабря 2012 года, когда ей только исполнилось 38 лет. Алла так и не успела исполнить всё задуманное, но она навсегда останется в наших сердцах.

    Qui Ramey aveva 34 anni se non sbaglio ( ho visto tutta l'opera su UA-cam). Non era un basso buffo e più avanti ha scelto un repertorio serio per il quale si sentiva più portato(Mefistofele, Maometto, ecc). Peccato però perché era secondo me divertente nel ruolo comico. 😂

    Thanks so much for posting this! The audience, sounds like every one of them, knew they had just experienced something very special and important in the world of opera singers. Of course we all know the kind of career Ramey would rightfully enjoy, but to hear an aria known as playful turned into a masterpiece…This was, is, a moment still resonating decades later.

My acquaintance said that this tall, skinny guy walked out on stage and started singing, and everyone just sat there with their mouths open, absolutely stunned by the extraordinary and beautiful voice that they were hearing.

    English translation Calumny is a little breeze, a gentle zephyr, which insensibly, subtly, lightly and sweetly, commences to whisper. Softly softly, here and there, sottovoce, sibilant, it goes gliding, it goes rambling. Into the ears of the people, it penetrates slyly and the head and the brains it stuns and it swells. From the mouth re-emerging the noise grows crescendo, gathers force little by little, runs its course from place to place, seems the thunder of the tempest which from the depths of the forest comes whistling, muttering, freezing everyone in horror. Finally with crack and crash, it spreads afield, its force redoubled, and produces an explosion like the outburst of a cannon, an earthquake, a whirlwind, a general uproar, which makes the air resound. And the poor slandered wretch, vilified, trampled down, sunk beneath the public lash, by good fortune, falls to death.

Wem der große Wurf gelungen, Eines Freundes Freund zu sein, Mische seinen Jubel ein! Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund! Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle Weinend sich aus diesem Bund. Folgen ihrer Rosenspur.

The ability to do bass baritone roles simply speaks to his versatility. The only bass-baritone I know of to sing King Philip in Don Carlos was Jose Van Dam, and it was admittedly too low for him.

    Mi fanno ridere quelli che dicono che quest'aria è da basso - basso o da basso profondo. Si vede che non sanno cosa sia cantarla. Chi ci ha provato (con pessimi risultati, come chi commenta...) può garantire che un conto è l'aria da basso verdiana, un conto è quella belcantista, come quella donizettiana. Quest'aria necessità di un'agilità che difficilmente un basso puro (sempre che ne esistano...forse i russi) riesce a garantire. La cabaletta, in particolare, è sfiancante e con tessitura "alta" che un Ramey - capace di note profonde come di acuti strepitosi - affronta al meglio. Il resto sono chiacchiere da presunti melomani e leoni da tastiera
