Emily Fons brings striking dramatic intensity to the role of Mandane in Haymarket Opera Company’s new recording of Artaserse, released in collaboration with Chicago’s GRAMMY® Award-winning label Cedille Records.

“Emily Fons as Mandane was every bit as gripping, too, sharpening her luxurious mezzo to deadly points in the first act and lacing it with sobs in the third.”
—Hannah Edgar, Chicago Tribune

Featuring the acclaimed cast and orchestra of Haymarket’s 2025 production, this recording captures Leonardo Vinci and Pietro Metastasio’s 1730 masterpiece with vivid immediacy and care for historical performance.

Available for purchase online through Cedille Records and for streaming on major music platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, and YouTube Music.
