You could say that music is in her DNA. Her father, Marcello Viotti, is a conductor, her mother is a violinist, her brother Lorenzo is making a name for himself as a conductor and she has two other siblings who are also opera musicians. She chose her voice as her instrument – and what a voice it is! Powerful, warm, oozing sensuality, and perfectly reflecting her determination to conquer all the roles in her vocal range. She has mastered them all, from early music to bel canto and Offenbach. After her stunning Périchole in autumn 2022, she joins forces once again with Marc Minkowski for a recital devoted entirely to Handel. Her passionate energy and unfailing virtuosity, which recently earned her a Victoire de la Musique French music industry award, will show his work off to best advantage.
