One of the most fascinating voices on today’s opera and concert stages, Alessandra Visentin is especially acclaimed for the rarity of her voice type. In November 2022 the Italian Academy Foundation recognised her as a top-level Italian artist, and one of the most outstanding exponents of Italianità and of the classical artistry of the contralto.

Visentin has appeared at some of the world’s most prestigious venues and festivals, among them the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, New York’s Carnegie Hall, Opéra de Reims, and the Salzburg and Ravenna Festivals. She has worked with renowned conductors such as Riccardo Muti, Zubin Mehta and Riccardo Chailly, among many others.

Visentin studied at the Conservatorio di Musica Giuseppe Verdi and the Civica Scuola di Musica Claudio Abbado. A pupil of renowned contraltos Bernadette Manca di Nissa and Sara Mingardo, she also studied with Bob Kettelson and Regina Resnik.

She is the winner of several international competition, including the European Community Voice Competition at the Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino’s academy for young singers in Florence.
