Who is Cornélie Falcon? The Falcon soprano, a rare vocal typology, is well known today, but its original model far less so. Cornélie Falcon, a contemporary of Pauline Viardot and Malibran, was one of the stars of beautiful French singing. She was an exceptional singer whose voice, with its generous and powerful lows culminating in impressive highs, gave her both a meteoric rise and a tragic fate.
Polish soprano Aleksandra Kurzak and the Morphing Orchestra embrace her repertoire and history by revisiting the milestones of her triumph, from Rossini's Donna Anna and La Comtesse (Le Comte Ory) to the creations of Halévy (La Juive), Meyerbeer (Les Huguenots), Spontini (La Vestale) and Niedermeyer (Stradella).
