Draft:Gabriella Ravazzi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gabriella Ravazzi is an Italian soprano. [1]

She was born in Milan, Italy. Her father Umberto Ravazzi was a prominent painter[2]. Gabriella Ravazzi obtained a diploma in violin from the Conservatory Giuseppe Verdi in Milan and later studied opera singing under soprano Carla Castellani.

She sang principal roles in more than 100 operas in theaters across Italy and Europe (La Scala[3] in Milan, La Fenice[4] in Venice, Teatro Comunale in Bologna[5], etc.). [6]

Doted with perfect pitch and exceptional musicality, Gabriella Ravazzi was particularly sought after for contemporary and avant-garde repertoire. She sang premieres of works by Luigi Nono[7], Krzyzstof Penderecki[3], Luciano Berio[8], Luciano Chailly[9] to name a few.

She appeared in the 1973 film "Puccini" by Sandro Bolchi as Musetta in the final scene of La Bohème.[10]

In 1978 Ravazzi created Associazione Spazio Musica with her husband Manlio Palumbo Mosca to develop and support young musicians. She continues this activity today as Artistic Director of "Spazio Musica Opere e Concerti" in July/August at the Mancinelli Theater in Orvieto, Italy.[11]
