Eva Golemi: Odabella, a strong role in terms of dramaturgy

A special story about the barbarian conqueror, the king of the Huns, and the desire for freedom of the Italian people in the work "Attila" by the composer Giuseppe Verdi. The premiere opera this November evening took to the stage of the National Theater of Opera and Ballet, where the well-known soprano Eva Golemi performs the role of Odabella. The soprano took the stage on Wednesday night, receiving a standing ovation from the audience. With an artistic activity that started years ago, the soprano says that the role of Odabella is difficult vocally, but one more gem in the roles she has performed on the stage of the National Theater of Opera and Ballet. "Odabella is a very difficult role vocally. Dramatic role with agility. A role I play for the first time. One more jewel in my 35 roles, this is the 36th", says the soprano. Eva Golemi is one of the most brilliant voices of lyrical music, which has been an integral part of the main roles in various operatic works for several years. She has already created her own artistic path, becoming one of the most talented voices on the European stage. In Verdi's "Attila", the soprano says that even though this role is difficult, with her experience and work in opera, it becomes easier. "Odabella is a strong role in terms of dramaturgy, but for me it is simpler, because I played Abigaile in Nabucco, which are close in terms of vocals", says the soprano Golemi. The soprano Eva Golemi started her career in 1996 before finishing the Academy of Arts with the role of "Dona Anna" in the opera "Don Giovanni". After this role, she continued her path at the National Theater of Opera and Ballet, where below we mention the role of Violeta in the opera "Traviata", the role of Xhilda in "Rigoleto", the role of Lju in "Madam Butterfly", etc., but one of excellent interpretations is also the role of Rosalind in the operetta "Bat".
