Anna CaterinaAntonacci

Established as one of the finest sopranos of her generation, Anna Caterina won prestigious prizes at the Voci Verdiane, Callas and Pavarotti competitions.

She has been honoured with the ‘Chevalier de l’Ordre National de la Légion d’honneur’ by the French Republic, which is the highest national distinction one can receive. Her first recording Era la Notte for the Naïve label received great acclaim and she has also recorded L’Alba separa dalla luce l’ombra for Wigmore Live, with her pianist Donald Sulzen, featuring songs by Tosti, Cilea, and Hahn.

Anna Caterina was elected one of the ‘Accademici Effettivi’ by the distinguished panellists of the General Assembly of the Academicians of Santa Cecilia in 2021.

Her recent highlights include performances of the role Madame de Croissy in Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites in a production by Emma Dante at the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, as well as the Bayerische Staatsoper. In the upcoming 2024/25 season, Anna Caterina looks forward to a recital at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecila with Donald Sulzen and a revival of her role as Madame de Croissy in Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites, this time at the Teatro la Fenice.
