Sidonia Nica

Bucharest has been Sidonia Nica's stage: from 2006 she sang with the National Opera there, in casts alongside Simona Neagu, Petar Naydenov, Dorina Chesei and Madalina Militaru. She graduated from the National University of Music in Bucharest in 2002 and went on to masterclasses with Ionel Pantea during the George Enescu Festival, with Eugenia Moldoveanu at the Transilvania University summer school, and with Viorica Cortez, Catherine Dagois and Gheorghe Rosu. A soloist of the Bucharest National Opera from the end of her studies, she has worked in parallel with other lyric theatres in Romania and abroad, her roles drawn from Le nozze di Figaro, Nabucco, Rigoletto, Falstaff, Carmen, Der Rosenkavalier, Tannhaeuser and Eugene Onegin, and she has sung in the Netherlands, Austria, Japan, China and Germany. Her vocal-symphonic repertoire takes in Mozart, Beethoven, Verdi and Dvorak, sung with most of the Romanian philharmonic orchestras and with the Radio orchestras.
