Vesselina Katsarova

Vesselina Kasarova earns my deep respect for excelling in the mezzo-soprano range, a register I think is the most quietly rewarding voice in opera. Born in Stara Zagora, she carried the rich Eastern European vocal tradition onto the world's great stages, winning the 2003 Echo Klassik Female Singer prize and the Austrian Kammersängerin title. Mezzos rarely get the glamour the high sopranos do, yet their darker, warmer color often reaches the emotional core of a role. I admire singers who deepen with time rather than coast on early shine, and Kasarova feels like the genuine article: a serious artist sustaining the craft.
