Anna Caterina Antonacci is the greatest!


... yet it is simple!

Heard last night in his show "Altre Stelle, it is extraordinary.

Christoph Willibald Gluck

Air Furies (Orphee et Eurydice)

Hector Berlioz
At sea, look! six vessels (air Dido in Les Troyens)
Ah! I'm dying! Farewell, proud city (monologue and air Dido)
Death of Ophelia, Op.18 (part 2)

Everything impresses me in the choices of Anna Caterina Antonacci: In his song, first . Respect of style, always, impeccable diction, in all directories. Never has the choice of the facility at risk not to appear brighter than those who only account for the vocal swagger. She has tried everything in these records, counting voice in composers like Monteverdi's madrigals.

must have courage to try out standards in this way a solo show based on the unspectacular, the simple class, thepresent, the ability to capture the scene.

In all her appearances, she is like a kind of star that illuminates the scene (hence the title of the show, Altre Stelle, wahouw!) And this time she chose these heroines lyyrique French Tragedy.

The success was complete, one will be amazed with the only mainetenant want to hear all these roles in full. After his Cassandra Trojans by Berlioz, tragically, his Alice Ford in Falstaff by Verdi, comic, his Bizet's Carmen, with great intelligence, his Monteverdi sorry, but you it will give us those heroines that summon demons scene?

I look forward to the integral roles on stage, this show is too awesome not to have now!
