Christiane Eda-Pierre - Mozart: Queen of the Night arias, Aix 1965

THE SONGBIRD: Martinique-born coloratura soprano Christiane Eda-Pierre (1932 - 2020) was 26 years old when she made her operatic debut in 1958 in Nice, France as Leila in Bizet's "The Pearl Fishers." The following summer in 1959 she appeared for the first time at the Aix-en-Provence Festival as Papagena, becoming a regular artist there across seven seasons. By 1965 she had graduated to the role of the Queen of the Night, whose two demanding arias are shared here. The conductor is Piero Bellugi. Eda-Pierre was engaged at leading opera houses and festivals around the world (Lisbon, London, Berlin, Vienna, Salzburg, Chicago, San Francisco, Genève, Brussels, Barcelona, Edinburgh, Milan, Moscow) in the core lyric-coloratura repertoire, including 16 appearances at The Met in the 1980 and 1981 seasons (Konstanze, Antonia, and Gilda). But clearly her career was centered in France where she appeared in nearly every city at some point over 30 years: Avignon, Bordeaux, Grenoble, Lille, Limoges, Lyon, Marseille, Montpellier, Nancy, Nice, Orange, Rouen, Strasbourg, Toulouse, and, of course, dozens of times in Paris.
