Angela Portella

Angela Clemmons (born in Norwalk, Connecticut) is an R&B singer from the early to mid 80s. She has been singing professionally for over 20 years as a background & commercial jingle singer. She also recorded and performed with artists such as Ray Charles, Gregory Hines, Elton John, George Benson, and Michael Jackson. In 1982, Angela released her self-titled debut album on Portrait Records. The only single to chart was, "Give Me Just a Little More Time" which peaked at #2 on Billboard's Hot Dance Music\Club Play Singles chart.

Praised by Bloomberg for having “mastered the role” and “acting her socks off,” Angela Gheorghiu leads an all-star cast which includes Ramón Vargas and Roberto Frontali, with the brilliant conductor Lorin Maazel on the podium. Angela Gheorghiu is the definitive Violetta of her generation, the standard-setter against whom all other exponents of this role must be judged for the foreseeable future. Her affinity for Verdi‘s fragile, gentle-hearted courtesan is rooted in a fine balance of acting and singing skills. Giuseppe Verdi´s immortal opera in a sumptuous production by Liliana Cavani, with world famous singers – a treat for viewers everywhere!
