Beatriz DÍAZ  Soprano
 
  BIOGRAPHY  

 

“This Fidelio had a first class cast of which the soprano Beatriz Díaz was particularly outstanding as Marzelline, approaching this difficult composition with a well-adjusted, effective and splendid interpretation. She also is a superb actress, shining as the perfect arche-type of Marzelline, both fragile and courageous, culminating in her emotional outburst Nichts, mein Florestan!, which was absolutely brilliant.”

the press enthusiastically commented Beatriz Díaz last successful debut as MARZELLINE at Teatro Cervantes in Málaga.

The Spanish soprano’s international career started in 2009 after being invited by Riccardo Muti to sing Paisiello’s Missa Defunctorum at the Salzburg Festival, the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino or Ravenna and to portray the role of DIANA in Iphigénie in Aulide at the Opera of Rome. Since then, she has been a guest artist of the Salzburg Festival, the Opera di Roma, La Fenice in Venezia, the Teatres Carlo Felice de Genova, Massimo de Palermo, Comunale de Bologna and Modena, Châtelet de Paris and Colón de Buenos Aires. In her native country has appeared at the Teatro Real de Madrid, the ABAO de Bilbao, Teatro de la Maestranza de Sevilla, Teatro de la Zaruzuela de Madrid, Teatro Campoamor de Oviedo, Perez Galdós de Las Palmas or at the Carlos V Palace in Granada.

In the concert field her collaboration with La Fura dels Baus in their production of Carmina Burana in tour in Spain, Macedonia or Taiwan is particularly worth mentioning.

Beatriz Díaz studied with Elena Pérez Herrero in Spain and later with Mirella Freni, Montserrat Caballé, Elena Obraztsova and Mady Mesplé.

REVIEWS
 
Teatro Principal de Alicante - La Bohème - MIMI
But the star of the evening was undoubtedly the beautiful Mimi. And not only because she was the most important character, but also because the Asturian soprano Beatriz Díaz, who already managed to subjugate the audience with her Micaela in Carmen, managed with her prodigious voice to create a dramatic climax of sublime elegance and sensibility. This Mimi is simply unbeatable!
El Español
elespanol.com
We already know that in Puccini and Italian verismo opera, the likelihood of any of the cast escaping with their lives is very low. The unlucky one, in this case, was Mimi (at least La Bohème is not a trail of corpses, as Tosca is), played by a very emotional Beatriz Díaz who received long applause from the audience; Her last act was exceptional, especially her farewell (full of memories, with inevitable musical tears, very intimate)… achieving a touching moment in its simplicity and tenderness.
Ritmo
ritmo.es
If we are talking about dreams, it is clear that the dream of every Musetta is to sing Mimì, and the Asturian soprano Beatriz Díaz not only fulfilled the task, but demonstrated once again that Puccini wrote the role especially for her. Not only did she offer an authentic lesson in singing with a range of nuances where the "pianissimi" are incredible for the projection and some "crescendi" with delicacy, musicality combined with an overwhelming fiato, but her character was delineated from beginning to end. Simplicity of the first act in good response to Rodolfo "Mi chiamano Mimì", an innocent ensemble in the "Momus" always clear by emission and presence, the striking and demanding third act passing from despair ("O buon Marcello" in yet another duet to remember) to breathtaking consolation, not to mention the last act where her voice was all the soul of Mimì, poetry in its purest form sung with vital and crystalline breath, giving us goose bumps and achieving after her death a sepulchral silence, the consequent sigh of the audience and the well-deserved explosion of jubilation for a dream come true with the whole auditorium on its feet.

Ópera de Tenerife – Der Zwerg - GHITA
But also the great calamity, with which Beatriz Díaz as Ghita points with her melodious soprano voice to the dimensions of the human tragedy and she finally shortly before his death , gives back the white rose to the dwarf, is extremely impressing...
Online Merker
onlinemerker.com
Triumph also for Beatriz Díaz in the role of Ghita, perhaps the only character who really sympathizes with the dwarf; the empathic character perfectly reflected by the soprano, who was very good throughout the performance and stood out especially in the final moments.

ABAO – La Dama del Alba - ADELA
Notable however Marina Pinchuk and Sandra Ferrández , as they defend their roles Telva and the Mother. This also holds true for Beatriz Díaz as Adela, that surely must have been a truly demanding role for the soprano. Diabolically both in the tessituras and the phrasing.
Platea Magazine
www.plateamagazine.com
The Asturian soprano Beatriz Díaz interpreted with lyrism and warmth. The beginning of the second act, as she sings and plays with the children, was particularly successful.
El Comercio, 12. September 2022 Ramón Avello
Beatriz Díaz as Adela was as always brilliant.

Musikfestival Gut Immling- Turandot – LIÚ
The role of the slave Liu, who later dies for Calaf, was wonderfully sung with an incomparably intense, soft soprano voice by the Spanish Beatriz Diaz, who received for her interpretation the greatest applause of the evening.

Teatro Cervantes Malaga - Fidelio - MARZELLINE
This Fidelio had a first class cast , of which the soprano Beatriz Díaz was particularly outstanding as Marzelline, approaching this difficult composition with a well-adjusted, effective and splendid interpretation. She also is a superb actress, shining as the perfect arche-type of Marzelline, both fragile and courageous, culminating in her emotional outburst Nichts, mein Florestan!, which was absolutely brilliant.
Málaga hoy

The Marzelline of Beatriz Díaz, who was a great Despina two years ago, also became a warm welcome. The Asturian sang the character with a voice more lyrical than light, particularly bright in the high registers and with excellent dramatic skills. She used each appearance to draw full attention, especially in the initial duet and the wonderful quartet that followed.
Mundoclasico

Also back at the Cervantes Theatre was the Asturian soprano Beatriz Díaz as Marzelline, daughter of Rocco. …/… in this German debut role the Asturian artist proved as usual to be just perfect in everything: a voice full of nuances with sufficient projection, even in the spoken parts, also in the bass register she maintained impeccable heights. Besides, her stage presence filled each of her appearances (impeccable the second scene with Rocco)…

Teatro Cervantes Malaga – Cosi fan tutte - DESPINA
His companion in the intrigues was the Asturian Beatriz Díaz, who apparently enjoyed her play, which perfectly suits the role of Despina and has the ideal voice for the character.

The artist, who already knew great success as Adina in La Fenice, presented a superb interpretation of the sensual Musetta.

Teatro Campoamor de Oviedo– l’elisire d’amore – ADINA
Really admirable was Beatriz Díaz. Here is a very talented soprano, who inspite her youth, has already made in interesting career- let’s not forget she has won the Francisco Viñas Singing Competition with an overwhelming majority and she was chosen by Riccardo Muti himself. .. She has a beautiful, absolutely lyrical, rich and agreeable voice. Her Adina was a real jewel. Díaz performed the role as if she intended to show her entire repertoire of vocal possibilities. The Asturian soprano triumphed in Campoamor in a magnificent leading role.
