Biography

I graduated in Law at the University of Perugia and in Opera Singing at the Milan Conservatoire. I gained my PhD in Musicology at the Royal College of Music in London in 2019.

I am an opera historian and singer who combines embodied methodologies with critical-historiographical perspectives. Through this approach, I explore the relation between voice - intended as a cultural, mediated and performative phenomenon - and constructs of gender, race, class and identity.

I sang leading roles in major Italian opera houses and have been awarded a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship (2020-2023) and short-term Fellowships from the Beinecke Library at Yale University (2022) and the British School at Rome (2020).

I am an active concert singer and have written about opera and singers for the Spectator, Opera Magazine, OperaClick and Il giornale della musica.
