St Louis is well known for its musical traditions. One that is increasingly becoming popular is the Winter Opera of St Louis, now on its 11th season. This year features a world class repertoir such as Gaetano Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore Georges Bizet’s Les pêcheurs de perles. The Winter Opera will have the additional presence of Benedetta Orsi, a renowned mezzo-soprano, as she moves from Bologna to her to new home, St Louis, this year.
Orsi is a graduate of the Regia Accademia Filarmonica di Bologna and studied with famed tenor Sergio Bertocchi. Orsi also graduated from Modena’s Istituto Musicale Pareggiato Orazio Vecchi. She has participated in master classes and stage workshops with Teresa Berganza, Luciana Serra and Fred Carama, and Glenn Morton.
