More people should listen to Diana Soviero
Diana Soviero, America’s standard-setter in Puccini and verismo — an artist whose vocalism was luminous, and whose inner conviction achieved the ultimate in shattering, profoundly moving emotional intensity.

George Vallo adds:
I had Soviero’s Verismo recording and fell in love with her rich voice and over-the-top but very real, heartfelt dramatics. Then I saw the video of her doing Sour Angelica and was totally blown away by her singing and commitment to the character. I watched it over and over and cried and cried her recognition of her child is heartbreaking.
Also, her Manon Lescaut is marvelous. I wish I could have seen it. She understands Verismo. Who else do we have today?
