Nadine Sierra returns to the Gran Teatre del Liceu with a recital of some of opera’s best-known arias. The American soprano, who has previously appeared in productions of Lucia di Lammermoor, La sonnambula and La traviata at the theatre, presents a programme combining excerpts from La bohème, La traviata and Don Pasquale with celebrated songs and melodies.
Accompanied by pianist Bryan Wagorn, Sierra explores the different facets of her voice, from the agility and precision of bel canto to the expressive intensity of Puccini and Verdi’s characters. The recital offers an opportunity to appreciate her versatility and the distinctive way she brings each character to life.
This is... good to know
Nadine Sierra discovered opera at the age of ten, when her mother brought home a recording of Puccini’s La bohème. She was so fascinated by it that she kept the cassette and never returned it to the library.
In 2009, at the age of twenty, Sierra became the youngest winner of the Metropolitan Opera auditions in New York. In 2016, she made her debut at La Scala in Milan, where the audience called for an encore of one of her duets.
