Facially, physically, and especially, vocally expressive, the exquisite Zeani infuses her roles with unparalleled interpretive depth. Listening to her is an emotional experience.
Her vocality is magnificent; fully supported with solid technique and bell-like clarity, richer than gold and smoother than silk! Her voice soars, effortlessly, on angel wings!
Thank you for posting this compelling performance by the divine Zeani, that we may savor her gifts.
Bravissima, Zeani
