Cecilia Molinari

Italian mezzo-soprano Cecilia Molinari is praised for her “very stylish” singing and performances “entirely at the service of the dramaturgy” (Bachtrack, Le Monde), possessing “a magical ingredient that lifts the audience to a higher plane” (Operawire). Renowned for bel canto, Mozart and baroque repertoire, her signature roles include Rosina (Il barbiere di Siviglia), Cherubino (Le nozze di Figaro), and the title role in Handel’s Ariodante, acclaimed internationally.

Highlights of her 2025/26 season include her debut at the Opéra national de Paris in Ariodante (Robert Carsen/Raphaël Pichon), her debut as Sesto (La clemenza di Tito) at Teatro La Fenice, her US debut at Lyric Opera of Chicago as Dorabella (Così fan tutte), and a return to Dutch National Opera as Cherubina.

Equally active on the concert stage, she collaborates regularly with leading orchestras and conductors worldwide.
