Listen to the full album "Invocation" now! https://w.lnk.to/edinvoc In this iconic and poignant moment, Floria Tosca pleads with the heavens, asking why she is being subjected to such profound cruelty despite having lived a life devoted entirely to art, faith, and love ("I lived for art, I lived for love"). Elsa Dreisig brings her signature dramatic intensity and exquisite phrasing to one of the most demanding and beloved soprano arias in the operatic repertoire.
