“I still the love classic period, but also the baroque period, and even...” — Cecilia Bartoli Quote

“I still the love classic period, but also the baroque period, and even 17th-Century music such as the music of Monteverdi. He's one of the greatest opera composers. He was the one who really started the opera.”

“We consider Monteverdi the first composer of opera. There was someone before, but everything started with Monteverdi.”

“The voice is an instrument that you really must take time to develop. It's like a good red wine Give it time.”

“Classical, Romantic, and Baroque music, that's what I really like.”

“What really counts isn't whether your instrument is Baroque or modern: it's your mindset.”

“I do really modern with materials that are so luxurious that they're, like, baroque.”
