The Superconductor Interview: Angela Meade
November 28th, 2012
SuperConductor | “The essence of a great bel canto opera is beautifully written melodies that seem extremely organic.” Soprano Angela Meade should know. In the last five years, Ms. Meade has taken the spotlight as a bel canto specialist, reviving this lost operatic form (the phrase is Italian for “beautiful song”) for a new generation of opera lovers.
“There’s something in a line that’s written,” she says. “You can tell what someone’s soul is saying,” she adds. “It’s not just notes on a page. I think that the essence is those emotions. With singing, I express who I am.”
