Stunning young Australian soprano Nicole Car is one of the brightest stars in international opera.

In April 2018, Nicole joined the ACO for a series of live performances featuring arias sung by some of music’s most iconic female characters, including Mozart’s Dido and Verdi’s Desdemona.

The album also showcases the artistry of the orchestra, featuring Mozart’s Symphony No.27 as well as a gorgeous performance of Beethoven’s Romance for Violin and Orchestra No.2 from Satu Vänskä, the ACO’s Principal Violin.
