Soprano

Cecilia Bartoli

The Italian soprano or mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli (born 4 June 1966, Rome) is an opera singer and recitalist. She is best-known for her interpretation of the music of Mozart and Rossini, as well as for her performances of lesser-known Baroque and classical music. She is known for having the versatilty to play both soprano and mezzo roles, and is sometimes considered a soprano with a low tessitura. Bartoli's coloratura skill has earned her the title the Queen of Agility.

‘Sparkling harmony …the combined talents of Bryn Terfel and Cecilia Bartoli…raise the temperature… Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro… is charged with intrigue and sexual tension and they captured the mood with pinpoint vocal interplay and assured comic acting…a formidable display of coloratura technique and lasersharp intonation.’ ***** The Guardian

Arias and Concertos


Cecilia Bartoli

Il Giardino Armonico, Giovanni Antonini

“Bartoli's voice, in prime condition, can do just about anything its owner requires, both in terms of emotional projection and vocal pyrotechnics. As her present mission seems to be to convince us that Vivaldi was a great composer of operas, she here sings a very wide range of his arias with consummate ease of execution. Whether languishing in a piece from Tito Manlio or - perhaps best of all - singing with lyrical beauty in the 'Domine Deus' from the composer's Gloria, Bartoli involves herself entirely with the mood in hand. Ii Giardino Armonico lend superb support.” Gramophone Magazine
