Work in Baroque music

In addition to Mozart and Rossini, Bartoli has spent much   of   her   career   performing   and   recording Baroque   and   early   Classical   era   music   by   such composers as Gluck, Vivaldi, Haydn and Salieri. In early 2005, she sang Cleopatra in Handel's Giulio Cesare.   She   often   performs   with   the    Baroque ensemble Il Giardino Armonico.[a]

In   2012,   Bartoli   produced   a   project   entitled   Mission,   which   premiered   the   works   of Agostino Steffani, a lesser-known Baroque composer. Bartoli produced the music of the composer in CD form as well as an extended music video that portrays her as the priest-composer Agostino in the palace of Versallies. The video is known for its historic and visual accuracy of the Baroque period. Cecilia   Bartoli's   performance   and   production   of   Mission   reflect   the   music   and   aesthetic   of Steffani's time period through the setting, wardrobe, and cinematography."[5]


Work in bel canto

In 2007/08, Bartoli devoted her time to studying and recording the early 19th-century repertoire the era of Italian Romanticism and bel canto and especially the legendary singer Maria Malibran, the   200th   anniversary   of   whose   birth   was   celebrated   in   March   2008.   The   album   Maria   was released in September 2007. In May 2008, Bartoli sang the title role written for Malibran in a revival of Fromental Halévy's 1828 opera Clari at the Zurich Opera.[6] In June 2010, she sang the title role of Bellini's Norma for the first time with conductor Thomas Hengelbrock in a concert at the   Konzerthaus   Dortmund.[7]   In   March   2011,   Bartoli   toured   five   Australian   cities   with   two programs drawn from Sacrificium and Maria.[8]
