Mark
Janicello Online Newsletter
Nr. 12 - May 2008
Hello
Everyone,
In
the last 2 months, a lot of excting things have happened and I wanted to
write to give you all the latest news..
I
started my first website in 1999. Over the years, the website has
really grown and developed -- first from one website to two. Now,
they have become a true representation of me and my work for the world.
We try very hard to keep the websites up-to-date and interesting for
all of you.
In
February, we undertook the first complete overhaul of my website in many
years. Both www.markjanicello.net
and www.markjanicello.org have
both been completely re-made and re-styled from top to bottom. I
think they are a lot easier to use and to navigate your way through.
When you have a moment, go and take a look.
As
a part of this re-style, in January, I did an extensive
photoshoot with Anne Makaske, a very talented, Dutch
photographer. The results of that shoot were so good, that
Anne's photos are now gracing ALL the pages of my websites.
This is the first time, that I have dedicated my websites to the work of
just one photographer. However, Anne's work is so special, that I
decided to use my sites as a gallery of Anne's photos of me.
This
photo on the right is just one of the many marvellous photos that Anne and
I did . She is a real talent and a great lady. When you have a moment,
go and check out her website. (www.annemakaske.com)
On
April 26 & 27, I will be doing the first of 4 live events as the
DWI Man in different areas in Amsterdam. We've
had unusually cold weather all Spring in Holland. I really
hope that the temperature will come up, otherwise it is going to be
a very COLD couple of days. Spandex has many virtures, however,
warmth is not one of them! Cold or not, I get a real kick out
of meeting Amsterdammers face-to-face as DWI Man.
The
scripts are being fine-tuned right now and then we will be shooting
a few more "DWI Man" Spots in the coming months.
He's a fun character, if a bit clumsy, but I really enjoy getting to
play him.
"Mamma",
"Core 'Ngrato", "Piu bella cosa", "Adesso
Tu", "Granada", "Sway", "Tu sei m'ai
preso il Cuor", "Dov'e l'amore", "Mattinata",
"Mambo Italiano", "Barcelona", "Quando,
quando, quando", "Caruso", "Torna Sorriento",
"O Sole Mio", "Buona Sera Signorina", "Time
To Say Goodbye" & "Volare"
On
May 24 & 25th, I will begin a series of performances of my new
concert program: "La notte Italiana" in Vienna, Austria.
The 2 "LNI" concerts In Vienna will be filmed for an upcoming
TV project. Come along and bring some friends with you.
In the last weeks, I have been rehearsing a lot for these
shows.
These
songs are wonderful and this will be a great show. I am so
happy to be back in Vienna again and to be able to see and sing for
all my friends there. We're going to have a LOT of fun
together.
Like
a warm, summer breeze , "La Notte italiana" will wash over
you with some of the most beautiful Songs ever written. From
"Nessun dorma" to "Mamma", or "O Sole
mio", "La Notte Italiana" will have you singing and
dancing in the aisles. The fiery spanish termperament of
"Granada" and "Barcelona" will speak to
your gypsy soul and the dancefloor will be beckoning you with "D'ove
l'amore" and "Piu bella cosa" amoung many, many
others.

- Hillegom, NL
OPEN AIR
I
will be doing a
60-minute version of "La notte Italiana" as a part of an
upcoming summer event in Hillegom. Please check the website in the
next few days for exact information.
WOW!!
The Burgarena Finkenstein is certainly one of the most beautiful theaters
in the world. On July 18th, I will be making my first concert in
Finkenstein in more than 10 years with "La Notte Italiana."
If you are in Kärnten this summer, come and enjoy the beautiful music and
one of the most breathtaking views you can find in any theater in the
world! Like the shows in Vienna, this performace will also be filmed
for a DVD.
In
addition to all my other projects, I have been busy painting for a new exhibtion.
On June 21, I will open my latest exhibition "Abstract Reality"
with a big open-air concert. In addition to that, starting on
Saturday June 7th, I will be painting a large "installation"
every day for a few hours in the window of Van Duivenboden Interiors.
This is the largest painting I have ever done, and it will be the first
that I have ever painted in front of an audience.
Generally,
I don't speak about private parties where I perform. However, this
one will be something very, very special. This will be a VERY big
society event in Germany.
I
am not allowed to say too much, but I will only advise you to check
"Bunte," "Gala" and the rest of the German
gossip magazines the week after this event to see the reports about
this party.
"Songs Just For You"
I will be
doing a special concert for my Vienna Fanclub and the rest of my Viennese
Family and Friends on Saturday September 27th at the Martinschloessl in
Vienna.
Over the years I have recorded 27 CDs.
"SONGS JUST FOR YOU" will be a concert comprised of the
best songs from all those CDs. There will be something for
everyone. I will be doing songs from the Musicals "Elvis",
"Mario Lanza" and "Charlie", as well as quick stops in
the worlds of opera, operetta, musical, pop, rock, gospel, schlager
and rhythm & blues!
Be prepared for anything and everything. The
seating in the Martinschloessl is very, very limited, so please contact
Boris or Beate Schmidt and reserve your seats now.
NEW
VIDEO - "La
Traviata" Musicfestival
Steyr July 2006
Akiko Nakajima,
Soprano; Mark Janicello, Tenor
and
Sebastian Holecek,
Baritone
A few days ago, I
received a short video of the final Scene of the premiere performance of
"La Traviata" from the 2006 production that I did at
Musikfestival Steyr. In the video you will have the chance to hear
one of the greatest singers I have ever heard or worked with, Akiko
Nakajima singing the death scene as Violetta. She is simply
magnificent. Sebastian Holecek sings Giorgio Germont and the
orchestra is conducted by the brilliant Niels Muus. The performance
was directed by Suzanne Somer and was one of the highlights of my singing
career. This video turned out beautifully and I wanted to share it
with all of you. I hope you enjoy it
On
March 29th, I did my first big concert in Holland since November
2006, in Lisse, NL. It was called "Night of the Golden
Classics." Anne Makaske attended the show and made some Live performance photos
as well. As usual with Anne, the photos were just amazing.
The
concert was a very big success and was filmed for a DVD production.
As soon as the DVD of the Event is completed, you will be the first
to know. I would like to thank Leon Cortez and Klaas
Slootweg for their help with this production.

I also did my
first television in interview (in Dutch) to promote the
concert.
To see the interview
(with english Subtitles)

There
are 2 enormous television projects that I am working on right now.
Both of them are very exciting. If either (or both) of them work
out, you will be hearing from me again in just a few weeks -- because I
will be a very, happy man!!! As soon as the deals are closed
and the contracts are signed, you will be the
first to know. Thanks
for reading and until next time!
