Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

"For an optimal performance, a stage area of at least 4 meters by 3 meters is ideal. A private, quiet space for warm-up and preparation is highly appreciated. A microphone is generally not required, as my voice is powerful enough to fill most spaces naturally. However, for large open-air venues or particularly expansive settings, a professional sound setup may be required. For such cases, the client or venue should arrange appropriate amplification."


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

For intimate gatherings of up to 40–50 guests, I can provide a high-quality Bose portable speaker if needed, though my voice carries naturally without amplification. For larger venues or outdoor events, it is recommended that the client arranges professional sound and lighting through the venue’s AV team or an external provider to ensure the best possible experience.


What information do you require about a venue?

To ensure a smooth setup, please provide detailed directions to the venue, including the best entry points for loading and unloading. Parking availability for easy access is also crucial. Additionally, if the venue has sound limiters, acoustic restrictions, or specific technical requirements, kindly inform me in advance so we can plan accordingly.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

No, my focus is entirely on delivering a world-class operatic performance. Music before, between, or after the performance should be arranged by the venue’s sound engineer or event organizer to ensure a seamless experience. My role is to provide a breathtaking vocal performance that captivates the audience.


Do you require a microphone or sound system for your performances

For most venues, I do not require a microphone—my operatic voice is powerful enough to fill large spaces naturally. However, for outdoor venues or particularly large spaces, professional amplification may be recommended for optimal sound clarity.

I often conduct a pre-event sound check, sometimes days in advance or on the morning of the performance, to ensure the perfect acoustic balance.

For intimate events of up to 40–50 guests, I can provide a high-quality Bose speaker, which has worked brilliantly in smaller settings. For larger events, the venue should provide professional sound reinforcement to guarantee the best auditory experience.

Additionally, a quiet space for warm-up is always appreciated to ensure peak vocal performance. My goal is to deliver a flawless, immersive experience that captivates every listener

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

Every performance is unique, but some stand out for their prestige and grandeur. One of my most memorable performances was at Lancaster House, an opulent venue used for royal and state occasions. Bringing opera to this historic setting was an unforgettable experience.

Performing at The Ministry of Defence in Whitehall was another remarkable honor, adding operatic artistry to such a distinguished institution.

Beyond these, I have had the privilege of performing for royal families, luxury brands, and distinguished institutions in the world’s most breathtaking venues, including:

Royal Albert Hall – One of the most iconic stages in the world
Belvoir Castle – A majestic setting steeped in aristocratic history
Lulu’s at 5 Hertford Street – One of London’s most exclusive private clubs
Annabel’s Private Members Club – A legendary venue for high society
St Paul’s Cathedral – A place of profound significance and beauty
Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild – A dreamlike setting on the French Riviera


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

"I have been deeply inspired by legendary opera greats such as Luciano Pavarotti, Franco Corelli, and Enrico Caruso. Their passion, technique, and storytelling shaped my own artistic journey. My favorite artist remains Pavarotti, whose ability to evoke emotion through his voice is unparalleled. As for the greatest song of all time, I would choose ‘Nessun Dorma’ from Puccini’s Turandot—it represents pure operatic grandeur and never fails to captivate an audience."


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

My journey in opera began with a deep passion for classical music and storytelling through voice. After years of formal opera training and collaborations with world-renowned directors, I began performing at prestigious venues and private events across Italy, France, and the UK. Over time, my performances have expanded to exclusive events, luxury galas, and high-profile gatherings for royalty, celebrities, and connoisseurs of fine music ...20 years of experience in total


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

I particularly enjoy performing at exclusive private events, luxury galas, and grand soirées. There is something truly special about tailoring an operatic experience for an intimate gathering, where every note resonates with the audience in a unique way. Whether performing in an elegant château, a luxury hotel, or a historic venue, each setting enhances the emotional power of opera, creating an unforgettable experience for all.


What makes your opera performances unique compared to other classical singers?

My performances combine operatic grandeur with a deeply personal touch, tailored to each event. Whether in a grand concert hall or an intimate soirée, my goal is to create an unforgettable, emotionally rich experience. With a repertoire spanning Italian, French, Spanish, German, and English classics, I bring versatility and passion to every stage.

I have performed at prestigious venues including Lancaster House, Royal Albert Hall, and Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, captivating audiences with my powerful, naturally projected voice that rarely requires amplification.

Each performance is tailored to the atmosphere and elegance of the occasion, ensuring the perfect balance between vocal artistry, luxury, and sophistication. Clients often describe my performances as mesmerizing, deeply moving, and unforgettable.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I prioritize precision and excellence, which is why I often conduct a sound check before the event—sometimes on the same day, but often days or even a week in advance. This ensures that the acoustics, sound balance, and overall atmosphere are perfectly calibrated for the venue.

On the day of the event, I typically arrive at least 90 minutes before to make final preparations. A standard performance consists of one full set of 45–60 minutes or two sets of 30 minutes, but I tailor my performances to suit the unique atmosphere of each occasion.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, I am happy to perform outdoors, provided that the conditions allow for an optimal experience. A shaded or covered performance area is preferred to protect both the voice and the overall ambiance of the event. If amplification is required, a power source should be available nearby. For open-air venues, I recommend discussing the acoustics in advance to ensure the best possible sound projection.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

My repertoire is vast, spanning Italian opera arias, French chansons, Spanish zarzuelas, German lieder, Russian classics, and English songs. Clients are welcome to express preferences from my repertoire, and I can accommodate special song requests if arranged in advance. Each performance is curated to match the atmosphere and elegance of the occasion, ensuring a truly unforgettable experience.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Clients often describe my performances as powerful, mesmerizing, and deeply moving. Whether in a grand concert hall, a luxury private gathering, or an intimate soirée, I strive to create an experience that is both timeless and unforgettable. The combination of passion, vocal mastery, and refined elegance leaves audiences spellbound, making each event a truly exceptional occasion.


Can you adapt your performance style to suit different types of events?

Absolutely! Each performance is tailored to the unique ambiance of the event. Whether for an elegant gala, a luxury private dinner, or a grand stage performance, I adapt both repertoire and style to match the occasion.

For formal operatic evenings, I perform a selection of Puccini, Verdi, and Mozart arias with grandeur and intensity. For intimate luxury events, I curate a more romantic and refined program, including Neapolitan classics, French chansons, and bespoke song requests.

Performances can range from a single breathtaking aria to a full-length recital, depending on the event’s needs. My experience in royal, corporate, and private events ensures that every performance is seamless, captivating, and tailored to perfection.
