This isn't the most flattering picture of Cecilia Bartoli, but it shows her Roman exuberance and joie de vivre. She is a marvelous mezzo-soprano, a great bel canto singer. Her Rossini makes you want to jump up and shout "Brava!" She also seems like a genuinely nice person. I was fortunate to see her perform in the early 1990s. She is only about 5' tall but what energy. Her English was fairly nonexistent, but she could "feel the love". The audience adored her!
