Francesca Aspromonte

Francesca Aspromonte is an Italian soprano who’s become a rising star in the world of Baroque and early music. Known for her luminous voice and expressive interpretations, she’s built a reputation for breathing fresh life into 17th- and 18th-century repertoire, from Monteverdi’s operas to Handel’s virtuosic arias. Trained at Rome’s Santa Cecilia Conservatory and mentored by legendary artists like Renata Scotto, Aspromonte made waves early on with performances alongside ensembles like Il Pomo d’Oro and collaborations with conductors such as Maxim Emelyanychev. Her 2018 debut album *Prologue* (included in her recent releases!) showcased her knack for storytelling through lesser-known Baroque gems.

Whether she’s embodying fiery operatic heroines (*Maria & Maddalena*) or navigating Handel’s ornate vocal lines (*Serse*, *Mi palpita il cor*), Aspromonte balances technical precision with emotional rawness. Recent projects like *Un’alma innamorata* and explorations of Pier Giuseppe Sandoni’s cantatas highlight her curiosity for unearthing overlooked works, all while maintaining a vibrant stage presence. Critics love her for blending scholarly rigor with approachable flair—a modern ambassador for music that’s centuries old but feels thrillingly alive in her hands.
