Enrique Mazzola

After Sondra Radvanovsky’s Lyric triumphs in works by Bellini, Donizetti, and Verdi, Chicago audiences will at last have the chance to experience the American diva’s brilliance as a Puccinian. Radvanovsky has earned rapturous international praise in the title roles of Puccini’s Manon Lescaut, Tosca, Suor Angelica, and most recently Turandot. Music Director Enrique Mazzola will collaborate with her in a program including excerpts from each of Puccini’s twelve operas — not only the popular masterpieces but also his less familiar, early operas. Given her magnificent voice, stylistic command, and incandescent dramatic powers, Radvanovsky was made for this tour-de-force performance.
