Viva Vivaldi! with Cecilia Bartoli

Cecilia Bartolis all-Vivaldi sell-out concert performances with the Italian period instrument ensemble Il Giardino Armonico, at Pariss Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, brought together the talents of todays most celebrated mezzo-soprano and an outstandingly creative group of musicians. Included are arias from Vivaldis operas and pasticcios LOlimpiade, Tito Manlio, Ottone in Villa, Gloria, Juditha Triumphans, Farnace, Bajazet and La Fida Ninfa. The repertoire displays Bartolis breathtaking virtuosity in arias demanding a phenomenal range of vocal expression.
Cecilia Bartoli (born June 4, 1966 in Rome) is an Italian mezzo-soprano 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 versatility to play both soprano and mezzo roles, and is sometimes considered a soprano with a low tessitura. Bartolis coloratura skill has earned her the title the Queen of Agility." --Wikipedia
