Soprano Carmen Giannattasio has been in demand since she was thrust before the public eye when she won both the First Prize and the Audience Award at Placido Domingo’s Operalia in Paris in 2002.
She took on one of the most challenging soprano roles soon after, singing Violetta La Traviata. Reviewing a 2007 performance at Scottish Opera, Rupert Christiansen wrote in the Daily Telegraph, “…a deeply intelligent and profoundly affecting interpretation in the Cotrubas and Scotto mould.”
Giannattasio has sung Normas, Amelias, Leonoras and Mimìs, but until October 2018 she had not sung Tosca.
