Raina Kabaivanska masterclass gala concerts at the Sofia National Opera brought Angela Schisano to the Bulgarian capital in 2016 and 2017, alongside Marily Santoro, Davide Ryu, Aleksandrina Mihaylova and Strahinja Djokic. From Sorrento, she took her degree with honours at the San Pietro a Majella Conservatory in Naples and went on to study with Raina Kabaivanska in Siena and Sofia and with Renata Scotto in Savona. From the 2020/21 season she was part of the Fabbrica young artists programme at the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, where she sang Annina in Mario Martone's filmed La traviata under Daniele Gatti and Fekluša in Janáček's Káťa Kabanová. She took her degree in lyric singing in Naples in 2017, studied with Kabaivanska at the Accademia Chigiana in 2016 and at the New Bulgarian University in Sofia in 2017, completed the academy for opera singers of the Teatro Coccia in Novara in 2018 and worked with Scotto in Savona in 2018 and 2019. Competitions mark those years: second prize in the opera singing category at the fifteenth Leopoldo Mugnone international competition in Caserta in 2016, the critics' prize for young talent at the ninth Trofeo La Fenice in Lucca in 2017, and the final of the sixty-ninth AsLiCo competition in Milan in 2018. She sang Ciesca in Gianni Schicchi at the Teatro Coccia in 2018, Angelina in La Cenerentola at the Teatro Regio in Turin in 2019, Noah's wife in Britten's Noye's Fludde in Reggio Calabria, and Olga in Lehar's Die lustige Witwe at the Circo Massimo.
