Breaking: Cecilia Bartoli to run an opera house
mainIt’s being announced in Monte Carlo that the Italian mezzo-soprano will take over as director of the Opéra in January 2023.
‘I shall put my passion at the service of the Opéra de Monte-Carlo,’ was Bartoli’s opening statement. The announcement was made by Princess Caroline.
Bartoli, 53, succeeds Jean-Louis Grinda who has been in charge at M-C since 2007.
The picture looks like a Regietheater version of The Barber of Sevilla.
Instead, it is a moderately traditional version of Iphigénie en Tauride.
She will be running La Scala by her 60th birthday.
Salzburg Festival.
And J-L Grinda is going where, exactly…?
Please take down that pic. It’s scary. I’m definitely not going to ever mess with Cecelia Bartoli!
If you persist in mis-spelling her name ……..you will definitely regret it. It’s Cecilia, not Cecelia. It was my mother’s middle name!
Then you might want to spell her name properly.
I was so shaken that I forgot how to spel! I’m still quivering.
Madam Bartoli is clearly a thoughtful artist. Her career path has been careful without many mistakes,[
lets for get West Side Story] please give her a chance before the negative comments.
why not ? she is a woman of a good nature . Santa Cecilia patronizes her for sure 😉
Very coherent with her carrier. Montecarlo is a fiscal paradise.
She used her companies settled in Africa to make contracts with festivals and halls that were subsidized with public money. Incredibly, her terms were always accepted.
