Description
Alongside an operatic career that has taken her to the greatest opera houses, Julie Mathevet sings and recounts the Sicily of her ancestors. "Cantu e cuntu"
With great modesty and a touching delicacy, she traces the thread of a family history and, with a melancholy and poignant repertoire, celebrates the sweetness tinged with bitterness of a bygone era. The island of flowers, friends and family, almond trees, prickly pears, colorful carts on holy days, familiar refrains that punctuate an existence: Sicily, left behind for the daily grind of the mine, the unknown language, for France where you're just a peasant who can't read...
A magnificent tour de chant, a tribute to those who preceded us and from whom we inherit.
