Cecilietta

Robert talks with opera singer Cecilia Bartoli [chuh-CHEE-lee-ah BAR-toe-lee) This month she has made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in "Cosi Fan Tutte," in the role of Despina, a part she says is perfect for her, both to sing and to act. She is a devotee of the 18th and early 19th century repertoire -- Mozart and Rossini, for example.
