About this listen

This week, it’s all heart and velvet as we turn to “Voce di donna” from Ponchielli’s La Gioconda.

La Cieca may be blind, but she sees straight into the soul with one of the great mezzo arias — gentle, generous, and rich with feeling.

We explore the beauty of restraint, the power of simplicity, and which singer truly lets the voice speak for itself.
