The Cast of the Conquistador -Vivica Genaux, mezzo-soprano

VIVICA GENAUX, mezzo-soprano

She has since become a favorite at San Diego Opera, delighting audiences with a program of arias and songs by Rossini when she returned in October of the same year for a recital performance accompanied by the young Canadian pianist Martin Dubé. She performs with the company every two or three years - her latest as Sesto in Handel's Giulio Cesare - no longer a rising star but one of the most universally acclaimed mezzo-sopranos of today's generation of opera singers, a favorite not only in San Diego but in major opera houses all over the world..
