I was born near Barcelona, where I started my musical studies. Over the years I obtained degrees from the Conservatori del Liceu. I studied law and worked as a public servant, until one day I decided to leave everything behind to undertake the study of bel canto<\/em>, my vocation. Since then, the CONTINUAL artistic formation of my voice has been an essential part of my development as an interpreter.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” border_style=”dotted”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n I traveled to Florence to learn singing techniques with the baritone Gino Bechi and the soprano Margherita Rinaldi; I perfected these techniques in Master Classes<\/em> with singers of international profile like Leo Nucci, Victoria de los Angeles and Carlo Bergonzi; I studied diction and artistic expression with Palma Toscana, teacher of the Manhattan School<\/em> of New York; I attended special courses of aesthetics and baroque ornamentation at the Center de Musique Annicienne<\/em> in Geneva. My interest in the pedagogy of the voice led me to participate in the V International Congress of Artistic Voice in Ravenna 2009. I follow the novelties and scientific developments at the Congress of Artistic Voice and other forums.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” border_style=”dotted”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n I have sung in emblematic places of the bel Canto in Italy<\/strong>: Milan, Venice, Florence, Rome, Cremona, Prato, Cortona, Viareggio, Pisa, Bologna; In Spain<\/strong>: Barcelona’s Catalan Music Palace, Pau Casals Auditorium in Tarragona, Kursaal in San Sebasti\u00e1n, Fraga Theater in Vigo; In France<\/strong>: Sarrebourg Festival, Baroque Festival of Ambronay, Lyon Opera; In Switzerland<\/strong>: Geneva, Loussanne; In Holland<\/strong>: \u00dctrecht, Amsterdam, under the direction of teachers like F.M.

In “Zarzuela in Kabaret”, I showcase the history of Spanish and South American musical theater. The show has its roots in the singular, erudite, prolific, popular and celebrated essence of this musical expression and analyzes the cultural and social prejudices that lead to its decadence after four hundred years of existence.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#173c4f” border_style=”dotted” up=”20″ down=”20″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” oblique_section=”no” text_align=”left” triangle_shape=”no” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”yes” type=”full_width” header_style=”light” oblique_section=”no” text_align=”left” triangle_shape=”no” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no” css=”.vc_custom_1411479622940{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;background-color: #ededed !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”52656″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” edgt_css_animation=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1468348758161{padding-right: 50px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”100″ image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#173c4f” border_style=”dotted” up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_column_text] I was born near Barcelona, where…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"full_width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-51046","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/isabelricciardi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/51046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/isabelricciardi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/isabelricciardi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/isabelricciardi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/isabelricciardi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51046"}],"version-history":[{"count":108,"href":"https:\/\/isabelricciardi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/51046\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52838,"href":"https:\/\/isabelricciardi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/51046\/revisions\/52838"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/isabelricciardi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
