Happy New Year with Paul Armin Edelmann

Johann Strauss' "Die Fledemaus" is traditionally performed on New Years Eve, so we leave 2009 with this delightful performance by Paul Armin Edelmann of "Bruderlein und Schwesterlein."

Our Latest Baby Barihunk was Paul Armin Edelmann

No one managed to guess that our latest baby picture was of Austrian barihunk Paul Armin Edelmann. The popular guesses seemed to be Rod Gilfry and Teddy Tahu Rhodes.

Edelmann may be the only singer that we know of who has made Dr. Falke in Die Fledermaus sexy. After this video, perhaps we should add it to our list of barihunk roles. He also manages to sing this aria as beautifully as we've heard since Herman Prey three decades ago.



Fans of this site will be pleased to know that Edelmann has an actual barihunk role on his agenda. He's scheduled to sing Papageno in both Beijing and at the St. Margarethen Opera Music Festival.

EDELMANN AS PAPAGENO

Barihunk Brothers Woo the Girls

[Top: Paul Armin Edelmann; Bottom: Peter Edelmann]

Paul Armin Edelmann and Peter Edelmann, who are brothers and sons of the late, great singer Otto Edelmann, will be performing Don Giovanni together for the first time tonight. The performance will be at Opera Ireland with Paul as the swaggering Don and Peter as his foil Leporello.

Peter will have to follow the big shoes of his father who one can see on the Furtwangler DVD playing Leporello to Cesare Siepi's sexy Don. Certainly, the thought of Don Giovanni and Leporello being brothers creates some interesting opportunities for a director, especially when Leporello woos Donna Elvira disguised as the Don!

Tickets or more information on the performance can be found at www.operaireland.com. We'll be keeping an eye out for photos.
