Bio

La voix c’est la voie – the voice is the path – someone once told me while I was singing in Saint-Etienne : “Ah! You are like Bianca Castafiore from Tintin…but you are a bit skinny!“. Being a soprano can be obsolete and stereotyped. For me it’s a daily training, it’s stopping Time and recreating it through an Aria. Building layers : sound, words, rhythm, intentions. Above all Energy. I’m still discovering suprising things even after more than 30 years of singing. Everything is reinvigorated, recharged and amazingly fresh. Surely my voice is my path.

La voix c’est la voie – la voce e’ la via – mi e’ stato detto qualche tempo fa mentre cantavo a Saint-Etienne : “Ah! Allora sei come Bianca Castafiore in Tintin….ma sei un po’ troppo magra!”. Il canto lirico e’ ricco di stereotipi e coperto di polvere. Per me e’ un lavoro giornaliero, un ricreare il tempo attraverso l’interpretazione di un’aria aggiungendo strati uno sopra l’altro : il suono, le parole, il ritmo, le intenzioni. Ed e’ soprattutto energia. Pur cantando da piu’ di trent’anni continuo a scoprire nuovi dettagli ogni giorno. Tutto si rinnova, acquista nuovo vigore e trova significati differenti. Sicuramente la mia voce e’ la mia via.

A very Special Thanks to Adelisa Tabiadon, a fantastic soprano and excellent singing teacher, who I met in the summer 2001 and who saved my life!I never thought I would be able to put into words the gratitude I feel for her fundamental help in a difficult moment. Without her I would have definitely stopped singing, for which I am eternally thankful!
