BIOGRAPHY
Studies
Born in 1995 in Zürich, Cinzia had her earliest stage experience as a member of the Children’s Choir of the Opernhaus Zürich. Following the preparatory study at the Konservatorium Winterthur with David Thorner, she relocated to Vienna in 2015 and continued her studies with Professor Sylvia Greenberg and later with Dr. Mikhail Lanskoi. Her current coach is Renée Schüttengruber.
She has participated in numerous masterclasses with renowned artists and teachers such as Mariella Devia, Kammersängers Adrian Eröd and Angelika Kirchschlager, as well as Jane Mengedoht, Claudia Visca, and Roberta Invernizzi.
Opera
In May 2022 Cinzia made her debut at the Volksoper Vienna in Benjamin Britten's "Death in Venice", staged by Sir David McVicar and conducted by Gerrit Prießnitz, a coproduction with the Royal Opera House Covent Garden. Before, Cinzia performed in Vienna amongst others as Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro) at Oper in der Krypta and as Angèle (Der Opernball) under the baton of Lazslo Gyüken at Vienna’s TAG Theater. At Festival Klang Bad Hall 2021 she sang the Elector Marie (Der Vogelhändler) under the direction of Ernst Theis. Touring with the Festival der jungen Stimmen 2021 with fragments of Musetta, Zerlina and Helmwige she performed a.o. at Staatstheater Wiesbaden and Casino Basel with maestro Roland Böer and director Wolfgang Nägele.
Art Songs
At the Schönberg Center in Vienna, Cinzia performed songs by Wilhelm Grosz under the direction of Andreas Stöhr. In 2020, she was a guest at the Zunfthaus zur Waag in Zürich, presenting a recital featuring works by Alma and Gustav Mahler. She also sang the world premiere of the song cycle "Keimlinge" by Tullio Zanovello at the Jecklin Forum Zürich.
