Rossini Barber Petya Ivanova Sofia National Opera 1816 1955 1965 1974 1999
~The "Glass Shatterers!" series focuses on sopranos who sustain High F, or sing higher. THE SONGBIRD: Petia Ivanova [Петя Иванова] is a Bulgarian soprano who began singing in high school, where she was nicknamed the "nightingale." She entered the Sofia Academy of Music when she was 16, and studied with Ludmila Prokopova. At the Sofia National Opera she did minor roles such as the Page in "Rigoletto" until being cast as Rosina in 1955, which launched her as a leading coloratura soprano in Bulgaria for over two decades. Ivanova also toured in operas and concerts to Denmark, Norway, Finland, Greece, Russia, Hungary, Romania, Germany, and Cuba. [NOTE: Ivanova should not be confused with another Bulgarian coloratura soprano named Petya Ivanova who was born in 1974, graduated from the Sofia Academy in 1999, and currently sings primarily with the Slovene Opera in Maribor. And she happens to have a rendition of "Una voca poco fa" on YouTube with a sustained High F.] THE MUSIC: Rossini's "The Barber of Seville" is one of the most popular operas in the world and has been since soon after its premiere in Rome in 1816. It is based on the first of three plays by Pierre Beaumarchais about Figaro, the sly barber in the title. The music of the opera is believed to have been composed in about three weeks. This showy aria "Una voce poco fa" introduces the clever character of Rosina in Act One and has become a touchstone for florid sopranos and mezzos.
Rossini Barber Lily Pons Carnegie Hall 1816 1969 1988
~The "Glass Shatterers!" series focuses on sopranos who sustain High F, or sing higher. THE SONGBIRD: American soprano Bess Arlene started taking voice lessons in her youth after listening to aunt's records of Lily Pons, imitating her rendition of Lakme's "Bell Song." Arlene studied voice at Miami University with a full scholarship. She moved to New York City after winning a series of beauty pageants and in 1969 sang arias of the Queen of the Night and Lakme at a Carnegie Hall concert with the Concert Orchestra of New York. Her career took her to 11 countries around the world; she moved back to Florida in 1988 where she has taught voice. This selection was recorded at a gala concert in Florida. Arlene sings a sustained F6 near the end of the opening section, and touches F6 in the midway cadenza.
