Five Minutes With: Montréal Classical-Pop Singer Giorgia Fumanti

Italian-Canadian classical-pop singer Giorgia Fumanti, who has performed with the world’s top orchestras on the world’s top stages — from London’s Royal Albert Hall to Greece’s Athens Arena, New York’s Times Square and China’s Beijing Olympics — follows her 2021 album, Mystic, with her 13th album in 20 years, Cinema Collection Deluxe Edition. Her stunning interpretation of notable movie themes and soundtrack singles is sure to add to the soprano’s 25 million lifetime streams and worldwide sales of over 1.5 million.

The Italian-born, Montréal-based crossover artist and song interpreter, praised by Jose Carreras for her “clear beautiful voice,” Lang Lang as “one of the most beautiful voices in the world” and Michael Bolton as “an amazing talent and voice,” says the 23-track Cinema Collection Deluxe Edition is the first of two or potentially more, reinterpretations of movie classics.
