The International Award “IL PARNASO”, expressly set up as an acknowledgement to artists excelling on international levels, this year will be presented to CARMEN GIANNATTASIO. Her unique talent has been in demand worldwide since her career was launched by taking First Prize and the Audience Award at Placido Domingo’s Operalia Competition, Paris in 2002. Her lustrous soprano voice and her dramatic ability gained her immediate critical attention and a reputation as a “chameleon”, able to adapt her tune and skin to the different heroines she embodies. She has become an acclaimed fixture on the most important stages of the world, including the Metropolitan Opera, Royal Opera House, Teatro alla Scala, Bayerische Staatsoper, Berlin State Opera, Wiener Staatsoper, Bolshoi.
