We would also like to congratulate JJ on his victory at the Eurovision Song Contest and are delighted at the growing interest in countertenors. Just last Saturday, the dernière of Francesco Gasparini's Ambleto took place, with countertenor Raffaele Pe in the title role and his vocal colleague Maayan Licht as Laertes. For all those who have acquired a taste for it: From 5 June, another countertenor, Dennis Orellana, will be on the stage of the Chamber Opera in Marianna Martines' Isacco. We are also looking forward to numerous countertenors in various concert and staged productions in the coming season. First and foremost Leonardo Vinci's Alessandro nell'Indie, where, in addition to Dennis Orellana and Maayan Licht, three other countertenors of the younger generation will be performing. Bruno de Sá, Jake Arditti and Nicholas Tamagna.
