BIOGRAPHY > PROGRESSIVE |

| |
In 1974 Donella Del Monaco founded Opus Avantra, a progressive musical group which was flatteringly
hailed in the Gibraltar Encyclopedia as "one of the best Italian groups of all time ", together with the singing
of Donella, who was defined as "a vocalist whose style simultaneously combines progressive, classical, opera
and jazz elements with a simply magical effect ". In 1974 the LP "Introspezione-Donella Del Monaco"
came out, in which Donella is accompanied by the group Opus Avantra, comprising Alfredo Tisocco (composer, pianoforte and keyboards)
Giorgio Bisotto (musical theorist and electronic passages), the violinists Pier Egidio Spiller and
Enrico Professione, the 'cellist Riccardo Perraro, with Luciano Tavella on the flute,
Tony Esposito on the percussion and special effects and Pierdino Tisato on the drums.
The musical genre was defined as progressive with classical overtones and in its own way created
a boundary genre somewhere between rock, contemporary, electronic and classical music.
There followed the "Lord Cromwell" CD, followed by "Strata" in 1989 and "Lyrics" in 1995.
Donella subsequently founded Opus Avantra studium, with whom she recorded numerous CDs which she
produced personally (see Opus Avantra studium).
