Mozart III: Ch’io mi scordi di te?
When Victoria de los Ángeles passed away in 2005, Ofelia Sala was the voice chosen to perform a beautiful tribute to her at the Gran Teatre del Liceu. Years later, in 2013, she was the first voice of LIFE Victoria alongside Helmut Deutsch in a recital at La Pedrera. The soprano returns to the Festival eleven years later with this comeback recital accompanied by Julius Drake, with whom she is collaborating for the first time. Together they pay a heartfelt tribute to Victoria de los Ángeles as part of this centenary edition, with a recital featuring works by Mozart, Strauss, Schubert, and Brahms. For Ofelia Sala, Victoria is an indisputable reference, as she is also for Julius Drake, who shares a very special memory of her as she was his mother's favorite singer.
