Overview
The unique voice of Anna Caterina Antonacci has a darkness and flexibility that she has put to thrilling use in the operas of Rossini and his Italian followers. Her lunchtime recital also covers Italian repertoire, ranging from a passionate Baroque aria by Cesti to the Romantic richness of later composers such as Cilea and Respighi.
‘Anna Caterina Antonacci: the name itself is almost a song. Antonacci may be a soprano but her rich vibrato allows her into mezzo-soprano repertoire … The voice is big and operatic, with a hint of wildness’ Evening Standard
