Soprano (lyric coloratura)
Lucia di Lammermoor as Miss Lucia · Teatro alla Scala · Jul 17, 2026
Rosa Feola emerged from rigorous conservatory training in southern Italy to become one of the most accomplished lyric-coloratura sopranos of her generation, establishing herself across Europe's leading opera houses within a decade of her 2009 professional debut. Her crystalline voice and impeccable technique have made her the interpreter of choice for the great Rossini and Donizetti roles, from Gilda and Adina to Amina and Norina, each delivered with vocal security and dramatic intelligence. Recognition from Plácido Domingo's Operalia competition, the What's On Stage Opera Poll, and the Franco Abbiati Discographic Award has solidified her standing as an artist of international consequence.
Winner of the Franco Abbiati Discographic Award 2025 (Solo Repertoire); Second Prize and Rolex Audience Prize at Plácido Domingo's Operalia competition (2010); What's On Stage Opera Poll citation for Elvira in Welsh National Opera's *I puritani* (2016)
Conservatorio Giuseppe Martucci, Salerno (First-Class Honours Degree in Singing, 2008); Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia Opera Studio
