Iano Tamar - Leonora

Considered one of the best voices of dramatic soprano, she has collaborated with conductors such as Riccardo Muti and Gianandrea Gavazzeni. Among the most successful performances it is worth mentioning: Elisabetta di Valois in Don Carlos at the Staatsoper in Vienna, Rachel in La Juive at the Fenice in Venice, Tosca at the Grand Théâtre de Genève, Leonora in Il Trovatore at the Bregenz Festival, Leonora in La Forza del Destino at the Bayerische Staatsoper. Besides the great dramatic roles of the nineteenth century, Iano Tamar is an interpreter of Mozart's characters like Electra, Fiordiligi and Contessa d’Almaviva.

Future plans: Macbeth at the Opéra de Lyon; Nabucco in Antwerp; Don Carlo in Vienna; Lucio Silla in Barcelona; and Aida in Zurich.
