Cecilia Bartoli Started as a Mezzosoprano, but durin her career, she tried out what she can sing!!! So in Così fan Tutte she sing Despina, Dorabella AND Fiordilligi!!!!!! The belcanto Parts of Norma and Sonnambula are in a Tessitura, that she can reach!!!!!
I think she's really more of a dramatic coloratura...but she does the mezzo stuff very easily, moreso than the super stratospheric stuff, you know? Well any way you put it, she still kicks ass :)
Una donna a quindici anni - from Act II, Scene I of the Italian opera Così fan tutte by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Libretto: Lorenzo da Ponte Role: Despina, the serving maid of Dorabella and Fiordiligi, Setting: the dressing room of Dorabella and Fiordiligi. Synopsis: After encouraging the sisters to have the Albanians back to their house, Despina sings this aria, saying that a girl of fifteen should know how to flirt successfully. She should be able to lead on any man and lie when needed.
@carynalexis23 Well, most of the time she is billed as a mezzo, although nowadays the repertoire she takes up lies more in the soprano (or even coloratura) range.
In the future? Personally, I'm secretly dreaming of a disc of Jommelli, Hasse and Porpora arias... Long shot, I know, but one is allowed to dream, right? :)
It's nice to see recordings of her before she decided that mozart's surgical accuracy with notes wasn't enough and turned every song into a rossini-shotgun-blast-of-notes
MS BARTOLI IS M'Y ALL TIME FAVORITE DESPINA

Of course she is.

Most beautiful opera singer of Mozart!
I tend to like music to be sung exactly as written. No doubt Mozart was extremely gifted.
