Carmen Giannattasio
Biography: Carmen Giannattasio Carmen Giannattasio’s lustrous soprano voice is in high demand at all the leading opera houses across the world from the Metropolitan to the Royal Opera House and La Scala. After winning the First Prize and the Audience Award at Placido Domingo’s Operalia, Paris 2002, her dramatic ability quickly thrust her onto the world stage and gained her immediate critical attention and a reputation as a chameleon, who could transform herself and delve convincingly into the grand passions of the tragic operatic heroines. Carmen boasts an impressive repertoire encompassing the great composers of the 18th and 19th centuries and has appeared in the major European and American opera houses and concert venues under the world’s leading conductors and directors. Following her Covent Garden debut in 2012, she performed for the first time at the Metropolitan Opera in New York as Leonora in David McVicar’s production of Verdi’s Il Trovatore in September of the same year. In December 2013, Giannattasio opened the season at San Carlo with a mesmeric performance of Violetta in La Traviata directed by film-maker Ferzan Özpetek, followed by Mrs Alice in Verdi’s Falstaff at La Scala, Verdi’s la Traviata at Hong Kong Arts Festival, Leonora in Philipp Stolzl’s new production of Verdi’s Il Trovatore at Wien Festwochen, Desdemona in Josè Cura new production of Verdi’s Otello at Teatro Colon of Buenos Aires, Alice in a Blakeley’s new production of Falstaff at Los Angeles Opera conducted by James Conlon. In 2014 season appeared in the New Year’s Concert from La Fenice broadcasted worldwide, Verdi’s Requiem in Valencia Palau de las Artes, Turandot (Liu’) at Teatro Regio of Turin conducted by P.
