Elena Moșuc - Verdi Heroines: Elena Moșuc (2018) [Official Digital Download]

This album features opera arias by Verdi recorded by the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Ivo Lipanovic, and Romanian-Swiss soprano Elena Mosu. Mosu studied at the Conservatory George Enescu in Iasi and won several international competitions before graduating, including the international music competition organised by the German Broadcasting Network ARD. In 2017 she was nominated for the international prestigious OSCAR DELLA LIRICA. Since the beginning of her career, Elena Mosuc maintained a strong connection to the Zurich Opera House, from where she launched her international career. Frequent guest appearances have led her to some of the most famous opera houses and festivals all over the world (e.g. the opera houses of Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Hamburg, Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Munich, Vienna, Salzburg, Paris, London, Helsinki, Rome, Venice, Verona, as well as the Metropolitan Opera in New York).

Over the course of her career, Elena Mosuc has established herself as one of the most versatile and expressive sopranos of our time. In addition to her opera performances, she also likes to lend her talent to other projects that spark her interest. In recent years she discovered among others Fado and Musical and has given various concerts (Operfado). She also feels passionate about film music, which led to her involvement in the new album L’amore è poesia (Solo Musica 2016).
