Paying homage to Maria Malibran

Italian mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli celebrates the life and work of 19th century diva Maria Malibran, who was born 200 years ago, in a personal tribute to one of the most famous opera singers of her time.
Malibran’s extensive and exceptionally varied repertoire, which was cherished by Bellini, is wonderfully brought into the 21st century through Bartoli’s exceptional range of emotional and dramatic expressiveness.
The Barcelona Concert, performed in the stunning Palau de la Musica Catalana, features a range of highlights from her 2007 Maria album, which garnered critical acclaim across the world and is a fitting tribute to such an operatic icon.
