Nuccia Focile

Nuccia Focile (Soprano)

Born: 25th November 1961, Militello in Val di Catania, Sicily,

Nationality: Italian

Italian soprano Nuccia Focile was born in Sicily in 1961 and trained in Turin, where she sang her first Mimì in 1984; the part would become something of a calling-card for her, and she debuted at the Metropolitan Opera in the role in 1995. Her repertoire also includes Verdi’s Nannetta, Violetta, Oscar and Amelia Boccanegra, Mozart’s Susanna, Elvira, Pamina, Despina, Ilia and Servilia, Nedda in Pagliacci, Liù in Turandot, and Norina in Don Pasquale.

She sings the Heavenly Voice on Riccardo Muti’s 1992 recording of Don Carlo (with Pavarotti in the title-role) from La Scala, Tatyana to Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s anti-hero on Semyon Bychkov’s 1990 Eugene Onegin on Philips, Despina on Sir Charles Mackerras’s 1993 Così fan tutte on Telarc, and the soprano solo in Rossini’s Petite Messe solennelle for Sir Neville Marriner on Philips.
