Arianna Vendittelli / Recensies

Arianna Vendittelli: I decided to become a singer when I was five-years-old, before I started school. I had an audition at the Teatro dell’Opera in Rome for the children’s choir in “Turandot.” It was an amazing experience and I decided I wanted to live in the theatre. But when I started school I forgot about my dream and started to learn the violin, but I did sing a lot in children’s choirs. I didn’t have my first singing lesson until I was 19, and it was then I realized that this is what I wanted to do. However, initially, I went to the conservatory to study the violin, but I was not really happy so I decided to study singing with a private teacher, and attended the conservatory as an external student. Three years after my first lesson, I made my singing debut at the Salzburg Festspiele, with Riccardo Muti, which actually happened before I graduated from the conservatory. I sang Mozart’s “La Betulia Liberata.” It was a great experience.
