Giuseppina Bridelli makes her debut at the Philharmonie de Paris on Friday 20 March, singing as La Messaggera in Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo. A role closely tied to her artistic path, it marks another milestone in her ongoing collaboration with Leonardo García-Alarcón, Cappella Mediterranea and the Chœur de chambre de Namur, as the Italian mezzosoprano reflects:

“This tour with the pastoral tale L’Orfeo is a return to my origins. It began in 2017, culminating with a recording by Alpha Classics in 2021, and is an engagement which takes me home every year to what I consider to be a wonderful musical family: Leonardo García-Alarcón’s Cappella mediterranea, the Chœur de chambre de Namur and my fantastic colleagues and fellow travellers on this adventure in the name of our divin Claudio. This role is one of my best loved, La Messaggera: this time I will bring the ‘inauspicious news’ against the splendid backdrop of the Philarmonie de Paris, where I’m about to have the pleasure of singing for the first time.”
