Wonder Twin powers, activate! Form of Juan Diego Flórez! Form of Gustavo Dudamel!
Caracas, Venezuela's Teresa Carreño Theater held two of O.C.'s most favorite opera Latinos last night in a stellar press conference. The two performers (with wives, Julia Trappe [Flórez] & Eloisa Maturen [Dudamel], in tow) spoke about their Latinolicious collaboration in the upcoming February 3, 2009 concert (to be held at the Carreño Theater). Flórez announced that his native Peru will hopefully soon follow Dudamel & Jose Antonio Abreu's Venezuelan youth orchestra "El sisema" example.
Flórez will be singing Bellini, Donizetti and Rossini arias with Orquesta de la Juventud Venezolana Simón Bolívar and the chorus of Ópera Teresa Carreño, under the baton of Dudamel (natch).
