About

Angela started studying voice at her age 16 and after moving to the USA, she obtained the Artistic Diploma at Yale which led her to start working at the Metropolitan Opera House(NYC) right after her degree. This is her 9th season at the Met and in the 2019/20 season she will cover Euridice in Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice. Notably she has covered Nannetta (Falstaff), Zerlina (Don Giovanni).
