Soprano Nelly Miricioiu

Hailed as a singing actress, Miricioiu is one of the most versatile artists of our day. Her repertoire extends from Mozart and bel canto to Verdi, Puccini to the verismo and modern Italian opera Respighi and Zandonai. She has also sung the works of French and Russian composers. Critics have described her as “A rare vocal phenomenon of this century" (L'Opera of France) and "This extraordinary diva can sing anything and sing it well" (Rodney Milnes of Opera, the leading opera magazine in the world).

Since her Covent Garden debut in 1982 as Nedda in I Pagliacci opposite Jon Vickers, Piero Cappuccili and Thomas Allen and her 1983 triumphant La Scala debut as Lucia di Lammermoor, Nelly has been heard in all major opera houses of the world. She has worked with some of the most prestigious conductors and directors in leading roles, including Tosca with Jose Carreras, Jose Cura and Neil Schicoff), Mimi with Placido Domingo, Violetta in La Traviata with Franco Bonisolli, Roberto Alagna, Renato Bruson, and Alfredo Kraus.

Aside from her concert, Nelly Miricioiu will also hold an intensive vocal workshop focused on bel canto singing to twelve of the country’s finest singers on March 9-11, 2015 at the Ayala Museum. These masterclasses which are open to the public will culminate in two concerts, An Evening with Donizetti on March 14, 2015 and An Evening with Bellini on March 21, 2015. Both concerts will be held at 7:30 PM the Ayala Museum.

Nelly Miricioiu Live in Manila is presented by the Cultural Arts Events Organizer in partnership with the Manila Chamber Orchestra Foundation (MCO Foundation), Ayala Museum, Lyric Piano and DZFE.FM The Master's Touch. Proceeds from her Manila concerts will go to Juan Antonio Lanuza endowment fund for advance vocal studies. This program aims to help Filipino young artists in the advancement of their careers through masterclasses, workshops and scholarships.
