Three star mezzo-sopranos and a wonderful contralto present this recital, bringing to life the rich heritage of Baroque opera, the pinnacle of musical enjoyment and the entertaining element of cultic stardom alike. With tongue-in-cheek humour, present-day prima donnas Vivica Genaux, Mary-Ellen Nesi, Sonia Prina and Romina Basso follow in the footsteps of their passionate predecessors, accompanied here by celebrated Greek orchestra Armonia Atenea under conductor George Petrou, winner of Germany’s prestigious ECHO Klassik Award. Extra spice is added by the fact the these present-day divas also perform arias that, in the Baroque era, were the province of male singers.
