Gioconda is a role that makes every singer unique. The way Martina Arroyo interprets Gioconda is somewhat modest; she concentrates on vocal beauty without dwindling to flirtation or extreme temperament. What an incomparable creation. Also interesting is the support given by the other singers whom you may or may not have heard in these roles.
