Requirements depend on the venue and the type of performance. In most cases, a suitable sound system, one high-quality vocal microphone, access to power and a short soundcheck are required. For performances with backing tracks, a mixer or a device to play the music is needed. For performances with pianist or live musicians, a piano/keyboard or suitable space for the musicians should be arranged in advance.
Anna usually requires the exact venue, whether the performance is indoors or outdoors, the event schedule, the moment of the performance, the expected number of guests and information about the sound equipment available on site.
Sound and lighting equipment are usually provided by the venue or the event organiser. Anna does not normally provide technical equipment directly, but technical requirements can be discussed in advance with the organiser, venue or technical team.
Anna does not provide a Spotify or DJ service directly. If background music is required before, after or between performances, it should be arranged by the event organiser, venue or DJ.
Some of Anna’s most memorable performances include high-profile events connected with the Venice Film Festival, including exclusive gala evenings at Belmond Hotel Cipriani and Scuola Grande della Misericordia. She has also performed in historic venues in Venice such as Teatro La Fenice – Sale Apollinee, Teatro Malibran, Teatro Goldoni and Doge’s Palace. In Italy, her performances have taken place in prestigious locations such as Palazzo Colonna in Rome and Villa Corsini in Florence. Internationally, Anna has performed in China, South Africa, Egypt, Estonia, France, Spain, Belgium and Germany, including the Hope Giver Campaign closing ceremony at Al Masa Hotel in Cairo.
Anna especially enjoys performing at elegant weddings, private celebrations, gala dinners and intimate concerts, where the voice can create a meaningful and emotional moment for the guests. Each performance is tailored to the atmosphere, venue and occasion, from a moving ceremony to a refined gala evening or a private concert.
Anna began her musical journey with classical vocal training at the P. I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow and continued her studies in Venice at the Benedetto Marcello Conservatory. Over the years, she has performed in theatres, public concerts, ceremonies, luxury weddings, private events, corporate events and gala dinners in Italy and internationally. Her career in Venice naturally led her to exclusive events, where opera, live voice and emotional connection can transform a special occasion into a memorable experience.
Anna’s artistic world has been shaped by the great opera tradition and by sopranos who combine vocal beauty, dramatic truth and emotional depth, such as Maria Callas, Renata Tebaldi, Mirella Freni and Anna Tomowa-Sintow. Among the pieces closest to her artistic personality are “O mio babbino caro” and “Habanera” — two very different arias that allow her to express both tenderness and passion, intimacy and theatrical charisma.
Setup and performance times depend on the format of the event. Anna can be invited for a short musical appearance with one or two selected pieces, for example during a ceremony, proposal, dinner or special moment, or for a longer programme for a gala dinner, private concert or exclusive event. For dinners, the performance can be arranged in elegant musical moments between courses, so that the music becomes part of the atmosphere without interrupting the flow of the evening. The exact duration is agreed in advance according to the occasion, repertoire and venue.
Anna can perform outdoors, depending on the venue, weather conditions and technical setup. A covered or protected performance area is recommended, especially in case of sun, wind, humidity or rain. For outdoor performances, suitable sound equipment and access to power should be provided by the venue or event organiser.
Anna proposes a selection of suitable pieces from her repertoire according to the style, atmosphere and format of the event. The client can then choose from the proposed repertoire. If the client has a specific piece in mind that is not currently in Anna’s repertoire, it can be discussed in advance, provided that it is suitable for her voice, the event and the available preparation time. The final programme is agreed in advance.
Clients often describe Anna’s performances as elegant, emotional and unforgettable. Her voice touches the heart and creates a powerful atmosphere, often giving guests goosebumps. Many describe her singing as deeply moving, full of emotion, energy and intensity, with a special ability to create a genuine connection with the audience.
