Uyaras centers on the shape-shifting water spirits of Amazonian mermaids whose songs are as beautiful as they are fatal. For pioneering male sopranist Bruno de Sá, the project is both a cultural homecoming and a groundbreaking artistic leap.
Moving beyond Baroque roles, de Sá tackles Romantic repertoire, wordless vocalises, and Latin American masterworks. The project bridges gendered vocal boundaries, classical and folk traditions, and raw emotion. Bruno de Sá is the first male singer in history to record full Bel Canto showpieces historically reserved for iconic prima donnas (e.g., Heinrich Proch’s Deh! Torna mio bene).
Highlights include Brazilian classical repertoire – Villa-Lobos, Nepomuceno’s ‘As Uyaras’ – alongside Gershwin and Canteloube.
