Sara Mingardo

There are things in life that are unexpected. One of these was the experience of sitting in the Barbican Hall, hearing the slightly built Mingardo power out a low Db at the end of Pergolesi's Fac ut Portem. Mingardo's range and musicality combine to produce a voice of unearthly beauty, with a lightness and flexibility which makes her a most fascinating singer.
