Donizetti's Sancia di Castiglia - Opera in 10 minutes

Who is the soprano? I have heard the same version by Caballe. I am a fan of Montsy but I think the soprano who is singing this version in this opera is better

than Caballe.

Thank you so much! I love Antonella Bandelli. She is such an artist and a wonderful person. It is great to see her live here in this great opera.

Do you know what happened to her? Her career seemed so short. She has such a great voice.

[robertdonkers]

Ah, and did she give up a very promising internation career for her family? I remember hearing her first at the Maria Callas Competition singing I Puritani which was fabulous. Dragoni was the competition. Are there any recordings of Antonella in leading roles? Are there any private prirate recordings except for Sancia di Castiglia.

I am glad to hear that she is a nice person too.

[robertdonkers]

Yes, I know about those recordings but as she does not sing the leading role it does not really do her justice. Wow, it is such a bif desicion to take when ones career takes off. She must be a very dedicated and wonderful mum. Hope though when the children are a little older that she graces the opera stage once more.
