Soprano Julianna DiGiacomo sings her favorite arias and chats with Ira Siff about her recent debut at La Scala as "Lucrezia Contarini", in Verdi's I Due Foscari, the role she also debuted with Opera Orchestra in December of 2007.

"The soprano Julianna Di Giacomo brought passionate intensity to the role of Lucrezia, her large, bright, agile voice surpassing most of the coloratura demands with expressive ease." - New York Times
