Nizza/Janacek P Ostrava - This Is My Verdi

Amarilli Nizza defined Verdi as her best friend. She came on the scene as a lyrical soprano, but with time and thanks to her solid technique and a wise choice of repertoire, she has developed dramatic accents and nuances and has become a true Verdi heroine. The Italian soprano Amarilli Nizza was born in Milan and grew up in a musical family as the fourth generation of professional singers. As a child, she studied piano before voice studies with her grandmother Claudia Biadi, who has been her most formative teacher. In 1993, while still very young, she won the Mattia Battistini competition and had her debut as Cio-Cio-San in Puccini's Madama Butterfly at Rieti's Flavio Vespasiano theatre. Her agile voice and solid technique, together with fine acting skills, have granted her access to the most important venues and International Festivals across the world.
