An evening at the Opera
VIRGINIA ZEANI Live for Music Lovers
Tuesday, 10 May 2011
, 19.30
On Tuesday I invite you to an extraordinary meeting with one of the greatest sopranos in the world - Virginia Zeani - to listen to her live talking about her exquisite career built with great talent and modesty. She is the one whom Maria Callas once described as her only possible rival. The British newspapers wrote: Zeani sings like Melba and performs like Sarah Bernhardt. Yes, Virginia Zeani whom you have surely rediscovered three years ago by listening to Virginia Zeani: Tribute to Puccini - 150 years (which are still available online on Radio Romania Music) is to be live in our studios at An Evening at the Opera immediately after her arrival in Romania. She will surely delight you with her warm voice, her whispering mysterious tone, her fairy tale like presence and a scandal free career filled with unforgettable music performances and pure emotions that are still living in the memory of music lovers worldwide…
This time, let us not rummage through the memories of Mrs Zeani, let us only share together impressions about her life and music. Have you seen her on stage? Do you have in your personal collection works performed by Mrs Zeani that you are fond of? Tell us what you love about his great artist. In case you are younger and have not yet heard about the voice and beauty of Virginia Zeani, don't miss the only occasion to find out more and listen to fragments of her remarkable live performances!
You can also send a message for her to read during our live broadcast, on our e-mail address and, if you want to see her now at the age of 85, go to www.romania-muzical.ro and watch the live video streaming.
In fact, I invite you to join me as hosts in the Radio Romania studio and welcome one of the most fascinating personalities from the international opera.
And don't forget: Virginia Zeani will offer you her book Canta che ti passa - Virginia Zeani Talks to Sever Voinescu that is to be launched at the Bucharest National Opera on May 24th as well as her autograph and an unforgettable edition of An Evening at the Opera...
