Carter Scott Prepares for Verdi Requiem



Dramatic soprano Carter Scott, who is currently finishing a run of performances as Santuzza in Cavelleria Rusticana in San Diego, will join the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra on May 5th for the masterful Verdi Requiem. Ms. Scott, who is no stranger to Verdi, recently portrayed Leonora in La forza del destino with Knoxville Opera. Harold Duckett, critic for knoxnews.com, had this to say:

"Topping the list of vocal delights was soprano Carter Scott, who's Leonora lit up the stage and filled the house with powerful singing, as well as an especially touching moment of realization of fate's victory, delicately delivered while flat on her back near the end of Act IV."
