Claudia Ceraulo

Soprano

Her love for singing, which began at the age of five, led her to study under Maestro Elisa Poidomani, director of the children’s choir at the Teatro Massimo Bellini in Catania, where she was a member from 2002 to 2010.

At the age of seven, she made her stage debut, participating in Giacomo Puccini’s opera La Bohème, staged in 2002 at the same theater. She later took part in several productions, including Pagliacci, La Gioconda, Hansel und Gretel, Turandot, Carmina Burana, Tosca, and La Bohème again.

She graduated from the Vincenzo Bellini Musical Institute in Catania and furthered her studies for a year and a half at the Fryderyk Chopin University in Warsaw, Poland, and with various professors from the Musikhochschule in Karlsruhe, Germany. Recently, she completed her master’s degree in opera singing with top honors (110/110 cum laude).

Her training has been shaped by renowned masters such as Salvatore Fisichella, Marcello Giordani, Luciana Serra, Elizabeth Smith, Hanno Müller-Brachmann, and conductor Ezio Bosso.

Since 2015, she has performed in numerous recitals in Avola, Warsaw, Noto, Syracuse, and Catania. She has also participated in concerts for Holocaust Remembrance Day and fundraising events for the Telethon association at the Banca Nazionale del Lavoro.

In 2017, she made her debut in the world premiere of L’amante burlato by Paolo Altieri at the Teatro Sangiorgi in Catania, following the rediscovery of its score in an ancient Sicilian bookstore.

In the summer of 2019, she performed as the Handmaiden in Turandot, staged at the Greek amphitheater of Syracuse and the one in Taormina, under the direction of Maestro James Meena.

Her versatility allows her to sing both soprano and mezzo-soprano roles, covering sacred, chamber, and operatic repertoire. Additionally, her linguistic skills enable her to interpret contemporary and classical pieces with various musical ensembles.
