Daniela Dessì passed away just one year after her performances in Fedora at Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa. This is a superb interpretation of a 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, 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 was underlined when, in 2011, she was awarded with the Prize Belcanto “Celletti,” recognizing her 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.
