What a wonderful ride. Thank you @bostonlyricopera for entrusting me with this beautiful role. I loved being Angelina, especially with this wonderful group of people! Grateful 🥰

And thanks @operawire for this wonderful review!
“It is hard not to be enchanted by Cecelia Hall’s Angelina. Possessing a beautiful lyrical instrument, Hall’s voice has a quality that makes Cenerentola a well-grounded figure; beyond thrilling trills, her Angelina makes us believe that she is the most normal person on the stage — the only one that we can relate to. Her coloratura, therefore, instead of sounding like instrumentalisations of herself, is adjacent to her well-commanded lyrical lines. The challenging psychological problem within “Cenerentola”— why is she seeking the recognition of those who despised and mistreated her — seems to be peripheral to the making of the character. Angelina’s main feature seems to be her niceness and deep-rooted morality. Her voice serves as a moralizing force within the opera. Her “Non più mesta” was an invitation to goodness instead of a showcase of virtue. And her goodness, as opposed to her stepfamily’s wickedness, needs no explanation: it is all present in the voice.”

SCHERZA, INFIDA excerpt - Handel’s ARIODANTE

It’s honestly hard for me to put into words how much this aria means to me. Diving into the character’s utter despair/anger/grief in this moment of the opera - it took me for a wild ride when I first hooked into it. The heartbreak of the moment (believing my beloved has betrayed me) combined with this absurdly beautiful music - it’s maybe my favorite aria, full stop.

Performing this with Jean-Christophe Spinosi was one of those moments that makes all the hard parts of this career worth it. The audience applause afterwards was also a moment I’ll never forget ☺️

That’s a wrap on 2022-2023! What a big, beautiful year: Charlotte @oper_frankfurt, Ariodante @israelopera, Xerxes @komischeoperberlin, a concert with @harry_bicket and @oslmusic @carnegiehall, @tedddrh’s new Zauberflöte and @tilmankoehler’s Le vin herbé @oper_frankfurt. Grateful, happy, exhausted. Time for some R&R in the US of A!

But also…I’m already getting excited about next season, which includes two new title roles in new productions: La Cenerentola @bostonlyricopera with @nawdms and @operamaestro, and Ascanio in Alba @oper_frankfurt with @aldenpiano and @nina_brazier, plus Mozart’s Requiem with @nyphilharmonic and @jaapvanzweden @lincolncenter❣️
