Sara Mingardo is a distinguished Italian contralto, renowned for her rich, velvety voice and the depth of her emotional performances. Born in Venice, Mingardo studied at the Benedetto Marcello Conservatory in her native city before emerging on the international scene, where she quickly established herself as a leading interpreter of baroque and classical repertoire. Over the years, she has worked with esteemed conductors and ensembles, bringing her expressive and nuanced singing to the works of composers such as Vivaldi, Monteverdi, and Handel.

Her artistry extends beyond the baroque, as she is also celebrated for her renditions of Romantic and 20th century music, evidenced in her recordings of Brahms' Viola Sonatas and Mahler's Lieder. Mingardo's passion for chamber music and her collaborative spirit shine through in her recorded works, including her most recent releases which feature a blend of solo and duet performances that underscore her versatility. Whether she is delving into the poignant reflections of Berlioz’s "Les Troyens" or the sacred solemnity of Pergolesi's "Stabat Mater," Sara Mingardo's profound musicality and commitment to authenticity leave an indelible impression on audiences and critics alike.
