The distinguished soprano Anna Caterina Antonacci debits in a key role at the Venice Film Festival as the mother of a gay suspect in a notorious 1960s prosecution.

The film is titled Il signore delle formiche, or Lord of the ants.

Antonacci is harshly treated by The Hollywood Reporter, which advises her: ‘stick to the day job’.

    To critics I say “get a day job”.

  • Julien says:

    Antonacci was a fabulous and classy singer. She sang a lot of french music with success between 2000 and 2010. She was able to sing as a mezzo, for example Carmen and Cassandre in Les Troyens. A warm voice, rich in the low register.
