Sondra Radvanovsky, Lyric Opera of Chicago and Enrique Mazzola present "Puccini: Heroines", a live recording of a Giacomo Puccini program performed in February 2025. Radvanovsky's extraordinary voice gives each heroine a vivid individuality, from the tender lyricism of Anna and Mimì to the dramatic intensity of Tosca and Turandot, and includes roles that had not previously been part of her stage repertoire. Together with Mazzola and the Lyric Opera Orchestra, she captures Puccini's genius for combining concise, emotionally charged arias with profound insights into the characters. From the grace of "Le Villi" and the passion of "Manon Lescaut" to the intimacy of "La Bohème" and the virtuoso drama of "Turandot", Radvanovsky's artistry lets every phrase shine. The encores include Musetta ("La Bohème") and Lauretta ("Gianni Schicchi"), which emphasize both her theatrical flair and her authenticity - she seems to feel every nuance deeply within herself. Sondra Radvanovsky and the Lyric Opera of Chicago were previously heard with "The Three Queens" (2022) (jpc 10833198).
