Heroines: Australian Chamber Orchestra

Recorded across multiple dates of our national tour, the release features Nicole Car collaborating with Richard Tognetti and the Orchestra to portray some of the most powerful women in opera. �Here we present Nicole Car, a singer at the top of her game, to portray heroines including the courageous Queen Dido, wrathful Deidamia, the doomed Desdemona,� said Richard Tognetti, Artistic Director of the Australian Chamber Orchestra. �These are characters who face the very depths of human expression � joy and hope, grief and despair � with resilience and strength.� Car, who is currently making her Met Opera debut as Mimi in La Boh�me, has been going from strength the strength in the last few years, rapidly rising through the ranks to become one of the most sought-after sopranos on the international circuit. 'Suffice it to say, ACO sounds as exciting and committed as ever, with sparkling string playing and outstanding woodwind solos.' (Reviewed by Jane Edwards for Loud Mouth)
