FELICIA FILIP

"Heavenly Diva", "very celebrated star of the evening", "A new Quinn of 'Traviata' ", "this beautiful Romanian is touching", "she unleashed elation. What a clear and powerful voice! What an offhanded - ness!". "Her presence will remain in the annals". "Donna di prima forza", "A phenomenal voice" etc. This is only some of the appreciation which the press around the world utters about Felicia Filip.
At Covent Garden, or Wienerstaatsoper, Liceo di Barcelona, or Hamburg, in Toulouse or Moscow, the audience cheers with standing ovations. "Sei un cavallo di scena!" ejaculated Monserat Caballe after their performance with "Il viaggio a Rheims" at Covent Garden. The winner of great competitions for canto: "Belvedere" (Viena), where she won three prizes, inclusive the Japanse Prize, "Francisco Vignas" - Barcelona, "P.I. Ceaikovski" (Moscow), The Glora of Mozart (Toronto); Felicia Filip is the sole chanteuse in the whole world, winner of the all "Mozart" prizes.

Felicia Filip begun her musical studies as a violonist and she came to perform, as soloist, the Concert for violin by Max Bruch. But her destiny was another. In this dispute with violin, the voice wins and thus she becomes student at the Academy for Music in Bucharest.

After graduation she is employed, as soloist, by the Romanian National Opera. Her great international career begins in 1991, after the Romanian Revolution.
First in Switzerland, in Basel, then on the tens and tens of stages of the world. The young soprano is reckoned as "A new Quinn of Traviata", part which she performs with her distinguished musicality (as an echo of her violin studies!) and with the interpretativ power of a great tragedian. ("Superb tragedian" wrote "L'est Republicain" in Nancy, May 1998). She sang under the batons of the great conductors as Silvio Varviso, Anton Guadagno, Daniel Oren, Carlo Rizzi, under the direction signed Otto Schenk, John Cox, Jean Claude Auvray, Axel Corti, Nicolas Joel, with partners like Roberto Alagna, Francisco Farina, Marcello Giordani, Carlos Alvarey, Juan Pons, Vincente Sardinero. If we add the charm of her appearance and her port on stage, we have a summary of of Felicia Filip's personality.
