Maria Eleonora Caminada

Voice

She completed her musical studies at the Cantelli Conservatory in Novara and with Michèle Crider at the International Summer Academy Mozarteum. She furthered her knowledge of traditional operatic repertoire with Giovanni Botta and contemporary opera

with Alda Caiello.

Among the roles she has performed are Clorinda in Rossini's La Cenerentola (for the opening of the 2022 season at the Teatro Coccia in Novara, conducted by Antonino Fogliani), Fanny in Rossini's La cambiale di matrimonio, Dido in Purcell's Dido & Aeneas, Natalia in Luciano Chailly's Una domanda di matrimonio, Serpina in Pergolesi's La serva padrona, Bastiana in Mozart's Bastiano e Bastiana, Amore in Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice, and Anna in Verdi's Nabucco.

She was the lead in the recent premiere of Federico Gardella's opera Else (conducted by Tito Ceccherini), performed at the Teatro Poliziano in Montepulciano and subsequently at the Teatro Ariosto in Reggio Emilia. She has performed as a soloist in orchestral productions by the Orchestra da Camera Fiorentina, La Verdi (including Porgy and Bess conducted by John Axelrod), the Carlo Coccia Orchestra (Sommernachtstraum), and the Orchestra Filarmonica Italiana.

Among the venues where she has performed are the Teatro Dal Verme, the Auditorium Verdi and the Sala Verdi of the Conservatory in Milan, the Teatro Civico in Vercelli, the Teatro Maggiore in Verbania, the Teatro Sociale in Biella, and the Teatro Coccia in Novara.

She works closely with renowned contemporary composers and is frequently invited to sing in world premieres. Among the most recent are Mater Magnificat (for soprano solo, choir, and orchestra), Catalogo breve di indulgenze, and Stranger (in duo with guitarist Leonardo De Marchi) by Giorgio Colombo Taccani, the radio cantata Rifiuti by Alberto Cara (with the Achrome Ensemble, Sala Piatti in Bergamo), Phylum: Chordata by Edoardo Dadone (with the Divertimento Ensemble, Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan), and Canti della natura by Richard Danielpour (in trio with pianist Alfonso Alberti and cellist Davide Cocito in Fresne-Saint-Mamès for the Du Vert à l’Infini 2021 festival). She will perform the vocal part of Il silenzio e il canto, a “virtual opera” by Alessandro Solbiati currently being produced with the Divertimento Ensemble.

Among the modern and contemporary classics she has performed in concert in recent years are Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire, Stravinsky's Histoire du soldat (as the sole narrator), Berio's Folk Songs (with the NED Ensemble and the Calamani Orchestra ensemble), Castiglioni's Così parlò l'Abarbanel for solo voice (a performance that won last year's Divertimento Ensemble competition), Crumb's Apparition for voice and piano (with pianist Maria Grazia Bellocchio), and Donatoni's virtuosic Flans for voice and ensemble (with the Divertimento Ensemble).

She is the soloist on the soundtrack of Matteo Garrone's new short film, produced by Dior.

She holds a degree in architecture from the Polytechnic University of Milan.
