Bio

Cecilia Bartoli is an Italian mezzo-soprano celebrated for her agile coloratura and vivid interpretations of Baroque and Classical repertoire. Born in Rome in 1966, she trained at the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia and rose to international prominence in the late 1980s with acclaimed performances at major opera houses and festivals. She has recorded extensively for Decca, reviving neglected works by composers such as Vivaldi, Handel, and Mozart, and has collaborated with leading period-instrument ensembles. Her expressive artistry and meticulous attention to historical style have earned her a wide audience both in opera and in concert settings.
