Description:

Leyla Gencer was a remarkable artist whose extraordinary versatility allowed her to master an impressive range of Verdi roles, from the high coloratura demands of Gilda in Rigoletto to the dramatic intensity of Lady Macbeth. Despite being Turkish-born, she often outshone her Italian contemporaries with her impeccable style and true bel canto singing. This all-Verdi retrospective celebrates her exceptional artistry, featuring arias from Attila, Gerusalemme, Ernani, I Vespri Siciliani, Rigoletto, Simon Boccanegra, Macbeth, and Don Carlo.
