Anna Princeva
Anna Princeva is an Italian soprano of Russian origin, celebrated for her luminous voice and commanding stage presence across the world’s leading opera houses.
Since her recent, widely acclaimed portrayal of Cio-Cio-San (Madama Butterfly) at the Bregenz Festival, followed by major success at the Berlin State Opera, the role has emerged as a defining centerpiece of her repertoire, captivating audiences across Europe and leading to forthcoming engagements in Frankfurt and Stuttgart in the 2025/26 season.
Princeva is a frequent guest at the Royal Opera House, where she has appeared as Mimì (La Bohème), Nedda (Pagliacci), and most recently the radiant Liù (Turandot). She made her debut at the Glyndebourne Festival as Alice Ford (Falstaff), further affirming her international stature.
Recent seasons have marked a striking expansion of her repertoire: Eva in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg at the Bonn Opera, and the title role in Norma at the Flemish Opera Antwerp.
Additional highlights include appearances at the Sydney Opera House, Hamburg State Opera, and Teatro dell’Opera di Roma. Her portrayal of Elsa von Brabant (Lohengrin) earned her a nomination for the prestigious FAUST Prize.
A soprano of glamour, depth, and dramatic intelligence, Anna Princeva stands among the most compelling operatic stars of her generation.
