This release is homage to a great Italian soprano, Daniela Dessì, who passed away in 2016, just one year after these performances at Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa. This is a superb interpretation of this signature role in her long artistic career. Daniela Dessì was considered one of the world’s leading sopranos and a reference point for the Verdi, Puccini and Verismo repertoire. Thanks to the beauty of her voice, a strong technique and an intense dramatic talent, she was able to sing from Monteverdi to Prokofiev, performing in more than seventy different operas. This versatility has significantly been underlined when, in 2011, she was awarded with the Prize Belcanto “Celletti,” recognized as an “absolute soprano.” In this production of Umberto Giordano’s Fedora, she is joined by an all-star cast, including Fabio Armiliato and Daria Kovalenko.
