This month I had the opportunity to sing in the Concorso Lirico Internazionale di Portofino (CLIP) (19-24th of July). From 218 applications they selected 88 candidates for the eliminatory rounds. It was a such positive experience singing in a competition abroad. My programme consisted in arias by Mozart, Bellini, Offenbach, Gounod, Puccini and Massenet. This kind of competition is an excellent opportunity for all singers around the world. I was delighted with my performance during this intense week and it was a pleasure to perform next to so many amazing, young and talented people.

Next month, I am also going to participate in the Southrepps Festival Young Artist Programme 2022 between the 8th and 14th of August, where I am going to have masterclasses, coachings, and concerts/ opera galas. I am going to be able to work and share new ideas with the finest professionals and practitioners.
