Cecilia Bartoli

My favorite Mezzo Soprano! I pronounced her name "sa-SEAL-ya
bar-TOL-ee, I now hear it as CHA-seal-ya BART-o-lee. Is the latter the correct Italian? I still hear both.

It’s Che-CHEEL-ya BAR-toe-lee. Don’t forget to roll the “r.”

Oh, yeah…hey, she makes pretty good olive oil!

Oh…Music.

Never mind.

We love Cecelia too. Vidiotaped a “Live at the Met” production of Rossini’s “Cenerentola” (Cinderella) in which she sang the tital role. We all like to watch it. Not only is she an unbelievably wonderful singer, she’s great in a comic role - very expressive in her facial expressions and body language.
