Fiorenza Cossotto
Cesena based ‘Associazione Marietta Alboni’ awarded the Italian mezzosoprano Fiorenza Cossotto the first ‘Contr’alto di donna’ Prize, presented in honor of the great contralto Marietta Alboni (1826 -1894). The award ceremony took place at Teatro Bonci in Cesena (between Ravenna and Rimini). The jury said, the award for Fiorenza Cossotto has been « more than deserved, almost an obligation ». The today almost 69 years old singer sung many roles that were part also of Alboni’s repertoire.
