INTRO: 

Cecilia Bartoli's parents were both opera singers in Rome. When 
she was a kid, she used to play with other children in the stage sets 
of productions like "Aida."

Eventually, Bartoli grew up to become one of the world's great 
singers. But she didn't actually start singing seriously until she was 
14.  She had other musical interests.  

This is how Cecilia Bartoli describes her approach to music ... in her 
own words ...

TAPE IN: "My first passion was to become a flamenco dancer ..."
TAPE OUT: Ends with music. Last spoken words: "... you can get this 
emotion from the music."

OUTRO:

Mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli.  We heard from her as part of 
"Musicians in their own words," a series produced by David 
Schulman  and supported by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Bartoli first made her name with stunning renditions of arias by 
Mozart and Rossini. But in recent years she's used her stature in the 
music world to shed new light on some long-neglected music. Her 
latest CD is devoted to a composer who is best known for the legend 
that he poisoned Mozart ... Antonio Salieri Bartoli thinks Salieri was a 
great musician ... who had nothing to do with Mozart's death.

[[Cecilia Bartoli will be performing live on DATE at the VENUE in CITY.
