Raffaella Milanesi
This artist is an alumna of the Accademia Nazionale
di Santa Cecilia in Rome. Since her graduation in
1997, she has performed and recorded many diverse
operatic roles; she has sung in C. Monteverdi’s
L’Incoronazione di Poppea (Ottavia), G. F. Handel’s
Giulio Cesare (Cleopatra), F. J. Haydn’s L’anima
del filosofo (Euridice), G. Donizetti’s Don Pasquale
(Norina) and G. Puccini’s La Bohème (Musetta).
Most often, however, audiences have been able to
admire Milanesi’s interpretations of Mozart roles:
Elettra, Donna Anna, Susanna, Servilia et al. She
has appeared as a guest artist at opera theaters all
over Europe: Amsterdam, Antwerp, Bordeaux,
Lausanne, Luxembourg, Madrid, Paris, Salamanca
and Vienna, as well as at major festivals. She has
collaborated with such distinguished conductors
as Marc Minkowski (G. Rossini’s La Cenerentola at
La Monnaie in Brussels), Rinaldo Alessandrini (as
Proserpina in C. Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo at Teatro alla
Scala in Milan), Ottavio Dantone, Giuliano Carella,
Nicola Luisotti, Donato Renzetti, Adam Fischer,
Alessandro de Marchi (as Silvia in F. J. Haydn’s
L’isola disabitata at the Innsbrucker Festwochen),
Andrea Marcon, Enrique Mazzola, Hervé Niquet,
Philippe Pierlot and Christophe Rousset.
