Carmen Giannattasio is a distinguished soprano whose artistry is celebrated on both operatic and concert stages around the world. Born in Avellino, Italy, she originally studied piano and composition before turning her focus toward voice, graduating with distinction from the Conservatorio Domenico Cimarosa in Avellino and later perfecting her craft at the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome. Giannattasio's vocal prowess swiftly garnered attention, leading to a victorious debut at the prestigious Operalia competition in 2002, which set the stage for an ascending career.

With a repertoire that showcases her versatility and emotional depth, Giannattasio has become a distinguished interpreter of bel canto and Verdi roles, endearing audiences with her richly hued tone and dramatic expressiveness. Some of her most recent contributions to the world of opera include critically acclaimed performances in Meyerbeer's "Robert le diable," where she masterfully conveyed the complexity of the character Alice, and in Donizetti's "Caterina Cornaro," where her portrayal of the title role underscored her ability to infuse historical figures with palpable humanity. Her embodiment of heroines in Bellini's "Il pirata" and Rossini's "Ermione" as well as "La donna del lago" consolidates her standing as a preeminent interpreter of the Italian romantic era. Moreover, her powerful rendition of the Verdi Requiem displays her commanding presence on the concert stage, transcending the boundaries of operatic performance to embrace the broader scope of classical vocal music.
