She completed her higher musical studies at the &#8220;Santa Cecilia&#8221; Academy in Rome, where she graduated as a lyrical singer (1937). In November 1945, she became a member of the group of Albanian lyrical artists, with whom she debuted in the first concert organized in the liberated Albania and in other concerts. She began her stage career with the premiere of the opera &#8220;Rusalka&#8221; by Dragomirski (1953). With the foundation of the Theater of Opera and Ballet, she was included in the group of soloists, performing some of the main figures of the opera repertoire of the time: Cio-Cio-san (&#8220;Madame Butterfly&#8221;, Puccini), Santuca (&#8220;Rustic Cavalry&#8221;, Mascagni) , Violeta (&#8220;Traviata&#8221;, Verdi) etc. For her vocal-scenical interpretation, poetic sensitivity, highly distinguished musicality, unique artistic temperament, her roles remain models of operatic stage interpretation in Albania; as well as the concert interpretations of the arias of Toska (&#8220;Toska&#8221;, Puccini) and Margarita (&#8220;Mefistofele&#8221;, Boito) etc., with which she was represented on Albanian and foreign stages. She was one of the canto teachers at the &#8220;Jordan Misja&#8221; Artistic High School (1964-1970) and at the Tirana Conservatory. <i>(In the photo: Gjuzepina Kosturi)<\/i>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Text:<\/strong> <i>Albanian encyclopedic dictionary &#8211; Vol. 2 <\/i>, Academy of Sciences of Albania, &#8220;Kristalina-KH&#8221;, Tirana, 2008, page 1325.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo: <\/strong>\u00a9 https:\/\/www.shkodradaily.com\/&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Graphic processing: <\/strong>AHCF&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0On April 12, 1902 , Gjuzepina Kosturi (1912-1995), soprano singer, Merited Artist, was born in Shkod\u00ebr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":892,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ditelindje"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6741"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6741\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9256,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6741\/revisions\/9256"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6741"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
