The fantastic Australian coloratura soprano Jessica Pratt proves once again why she is one of the most interesting Rossini sopranos in the world today with her tremendous assumption of the title role in Semiramide (from Florence). The cast also includes Silvia Tro Santafé, Juan Francisco Gatell and Mirco Palazzi.
I am re-posting a wonderful interview I had with Jessica Pratt last year before her debut at the Washington Concert Opera in Semiramide.
Next week Jessica debuts her staged version of Rossini’s Semiramide at the Florence Opera… In bocca al lupo!!!!
The fantastic Australian coloratura Jessica Pratt is teamed with the great Verdi baritone Leo Nucci for this Rigoletto from Parma 2012. In grand fashion, Nucci and Pratt supply us with an encore of “si, vendetta.” A thrilling performance from both artists!
