Irma Foletti

Italienne, géomètre de formation, Irma s’est soudainement prise de passion pour l’opéra il y a bientôt 35 ans... en même temps que son mari François, la flamme étant allumée alors par un certain Luciano Pavarotti ! Installée depuis 15 ans dans le Sud de la France, elle fréquente très assidument les théâtres et festivals de cette région, et se déplace aussi en France, Europe, Amérique. Ses goûts musicaux sont assez larges, avec tout de même deux chouchous : Rossini et Meyerbeer.
