Cecilia Bartoli, Cavaliere OMRI (Italian: [tʃeˈtʃiːlja ˈbaɾtoli]; born 4 June 1966) is an Italian coloratura mezzo-soprano opera singer and recitalist. She is best known for her interpretations of the music of Mozart and Rossini, as well as for her performances of lesser-known Baroque and classical music. She is known for having the versatility to sing soprano and mezzo roles.
I am going against the typical cliche as a diva, of being beautiful all the time. Also, I said I'm tired of doing [record] covers with a glamorous picture that gives no sense of the musical project. With 'Sacrificium' I wanted to present beautiful baroque music from Naples, but in Italy four thousand boys were castrated every year. I thought 'how can I make a beautiful and smiling cover and talk about these cruel things?' The cover must be connected with my project.
