ballet divo who was also a brilliant French arts promoter, and Giorgio Lalov,
a young Bulgarian opera singer who made his debut at Teatro alla Scala, Milan,
at the age of 25 while participating in Scala’s famous international training
program for young singers. The collaboration between Josse and Lalov was a
huge success in a very short time, resulting in tours with over 250 performances
a season. Lalov created the sets and costumes for the productions and organized
the chorus and orchestra in Bulgaria. He drew soloists for the productions from
a huge reservoir of operatic talent in Bulgaria and central Europe where he was
living, as well as from the USA. Josse booked performances for the company
in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Germany
from his office in Paris. From the very beginning, the company established itself
as highly competent in delivering traditional, full-scale productions featuring
a large orchestra and chorus, and mature opera singers. The unusual chemistry
of the company proved to be very popular with European audiences.
Teatro Lirico D'Europa had developed a firm history of success with a portfolio
of hundreds of rave reviews for different opera productions that had been presented
all over Europe, in theaters and at important international festivals, as well as
a collection of outstanding live CD recordings. Lalov's wife, Jenny Kelly, (creator
of International Classic Artists Mgmt.) organized the materials and began to make
offers to theaters in the US . By winter 2000, she had booked the first major
American tour for the company. The response to the American debut tour from
both press and theaters was very positive indeed.
