Nadine Sierra (soprano), Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della Rai, Riccardo Frizza

Verdi: È strano! è strano!...Ah! fors è lui...Sempre libera (from La Traviata)
Verdi: Teneste la promessa...Addio, del passato (from La Traviata)
Donizetti: Regnava nel silenzio...Quando rapito in estasi (from Lucia di Lammermoor)
Donizetti: Il dolce suono mi colpì di sua voce! … Spargi d'amaro pianto (from Lucia di Lammermoor)
Gounod: Ah! Je veux vivre dans ce rêve (from Roméo et Juliette)
Gounod: Dieu! Quel frisson court dans mes veines from Romeo and Juliette

Nadine Sierra’s latest solo album, Made for Opera, explores the psychodrama of three of the most tragic operatic heroines: Verdi’s Violetta, Donizetti’s Lucia and Gounod’s Juliette. Sierra’s childhood intuition – that she was born to sing opera – has proved correct in every way and is reflected in the title of her second solo album for Deutsche Grammophon. The dramatic presence, searing passion and technical brilliance for which the American lyric soprano regularly scores rave reviews are captured in Made for Opera, which trains the spotlight on three of the most demanding roles in the repertoire – Verdi’s Violetta, Donizetti’s Lucia and Gounod’s Juliette. Recorded with the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della Rai and Capella Cracoviensis under Riccardo Frizza, the album not only reflects Nadine Sierra’s command of bel canto technique and rich range of vocal colours, but also documents her insights into the psychology of the ill-starred heroines of La traviata, Lucia di Lammermoor and Roméo et Juliette.
