Cristina Castaldi

Sunday, February1st
3pm
Wiedemann Recital Hall

Lirico-spinto soprano, Cristina Castaldi, has been described as “a rare talent with a warm, agile, exciting voice… she moves like a dancer, looks like a model and is at home on stage as off…. her vocal technique is unfaltering and her pianissimo high floats are without comparison.” Dr. Castaldi specializes in bel canto, early Verdi, and verismo repertoire.

Her recent vocal performances include soprano soloist in Carmina Burana in Prague, Czech Republic, soprano soloist in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 for Wichita Symphony Orchestra and the East Texas Symphony Orchestra; as well as the soprano soloist for Wichita Symphony Orchestra in Haydn’s The Creation. Dr. Castaldi performs newly-programmed recitals each year.
