GIACOMO PUCCINI

Renowned worldwide for her vocal beauty and compelling stage presence, American soprano Nadine Sierra fell in love with opera at the age of ten when she saw Franco Zeffirelli’s legendary Metropolitan Opera production of La bohème on video. Here she sings one of the most famous arias from Puccini’s masterpiece: Sì. Mi chiamano Mimì, in which the heroine Mimì introduces herself to her neighbour Rodolfo. Accompanied by the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI and Riccardo Frizza, Sierra captures Mimì to perfection, from her gentle innocence to the soaring passion that anticipates the love story about to unfold.
