Molto suggestivo. Handel geniale.

[@thomasnguyen6144]

It sounds like they are both countertenors.

[@olialto7]

Yes. You could call Mathmann a sopranist to indicate his higher range.

[@shakram2774]

They are.

These are two men singing a love duet of a man and woman.

[@philippmathmann6875]

That is true in the context of the opera. However, there is no gender in the duet itself. Therefore, it is simply a duet of two lovers, and gender plays no role here. =)

[@CarolYost]

@@philippmathmann6875 I’m not saying it’s immoral for two men to sing a love duet, but one of the characters has a female name.

[@philippmathmann6875]

@@CarolYost But aren't we past the times where names define gender? Should not rather the gender define the name? It is above all a role on stage? I wouldn't attach an identity to that yet. Art is what we can be. Identity is in the end who we are.
