On Mélodie
Victoria de los Ángeles' approach to organizing programs was distinguished by the variety of repertoires, always combining schools, from German to Catalan and from Spanish to French. The mélodie, as French song is known, was always present in her programs, as it was very close to her way of interpreting and living, even improvising on the guitar in home recordings, in a style closer to Piaf than to Fauré. One of the most sought-after French sopranos on the current scene makes her debut at LIFE Victoria with this mélodie recital, which will also feature Manon and Carmen, two of Victoria de los Ángeles' emblematic characters, in celebration of her centenary.
