Antonella Arena

Antonella Arena sang in the Aida given at Augusta in Sicily in January 2016 by the State Opera Rousse together with the Coro Lirico Siciliano, in Salvatore Russo's designs. Petya Tsoneva, Chiara Taigi, Davide Ruberti and Marzia Catania were on stage with her. From Catania, she began with the piano and took her singing diploma at the Vincenzo Bellini Conservatory in Caltanissetta in 2005, adding a second-level degree with honours at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Nocera Terinese in 2020. She has sung with the Camerata Polifonica Siciliana since 1997 and with the Coro Lirico Siciliano since 2010, and her solo parts include Mamma Lucia and Lola in Cavalleria rusticana, Mrs Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly, Giovanna in Rigoletto and Flora in La traviata.
