BIOGRAPHY

Born in Valencia, Spain, she has been studying regularly with the soprano Isabel Rey since the beginning of her training. She completed the Professional and Higher degrees of Music in Valencia with honors and a career award. She then pursued a Master’s degree at the Universität für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Vienna, which she also completed with honors. In Vienna, she was mentored in Lied and Oratory by the baritone Florian Bosch and in singing technique by the soprano Krassimira Stoyanova, with whom she continues to work.

At the age of 19, she made her debut at the Teatro Pérez Galdós in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria with Una Voce dal Cielo in Don Carlo. She returned to this theater in 2022 and debuted in the role of Olympia in Contes d’Hoffmann, due to Jessica Pratt’s cancellation. That same summer, she appeared as a member of the Accademia Rossiniana at the Rossini Opera Festival, where she made her debut in Italy as Contessa di Folleville in Il Viaggio a Reims. Shortly after, she made her debut in the United States, in Maryland, as Oscar in Un ballo in maschera.

She joined the Accademia del Maggio during the 2022/2024 seasons in Florence, Italy. Her debuts at the Teatro del Maggio include Frasquita in Carmen, Pamina in a reduction for schoolchildren of The Magic Flute, and Solveig in Peer Gynt (concert form). She also made her debut at the Salzburg Festival with Le feu and Le Rossignol in L’enfant et les sortilèges as part of the Young Singers Project.

In 2024, she debuted as Elisetta in Il matrimonio segreto at the Pérez Galdós Theater and also at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo with the role of Giannetta in L’elisir d’amore.

During these experiences, she has worked with conductors such as Yves Abel, Lorenzo Coladonato, Anna Handler, Andrea Licata, Nikolas Nägele, Zubin Mehta, and Sesto Quatrini.

Among her recognitions are winning the Toti dal Monte in the role of Pamina (Die Zauberflöte), 1st prize in the Concorso Internazionale Giulio Neri, 3rd prize in the Alfredo Kraus International Singing Competition, 2nd prize in the Concorso Internazionale per Cantanti Lirici “Città di Pienza”, the double award in the Singing Contest in Logroño (3rd prize and Voice of the Future), the prize for the best young talent in the Otto Edelmann Singing Contest, the Victoria de los Angeles Foundation prize in the Josep Palet singing competition, the prize for excellence in Russian song in the international singing competition Grand Prix of Romania, and the 2021 scholarship for musicians of the Güell Foundation.
