The admirable mezzo Anna Bonitatibus plunges straight into the mix with en travesti, and she does it exceptionally well, her arias offering a selection of male characters originally written to be performed by a woman. Bonitatibus copes effortlessly with bravura vocalising in arias from Handel, Gluck, Bellini, Donizetti, Meyerbeer, Strauss and Mascagni, among others.
