BIO

Brazilian-Italian soprano Camila Provenzale, born in São Paulo and currently residing in Zurich, is celebrated for her striking stage presence and refined vocal artistry. She has appeared on some of the world’s most prestigious stages, including the Philharmonie de Paris, Barbican Centre in London, Zurich Opera, Auditorio Nacional de Madrid, Santa Cecilia Orchestra in Rome, Philharmonie Luxembourg, Alte Oper Frankfurt, Opéra de Bordeaux, and the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona. She also made her debut at Carnegie Hall in New York with an Amazônia-inspired project presented by Marin Alsop and performed with the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra (OSESP). Upcoming performances include the Cologne Philharmonie (November 2025), the Philharmonie de Liège (December 2025), and the Kulturpalast Dresden (2026).

Among her recent stage highlights is a last-minute debut as Mathilde in Rossini’s Guillaume Tell at Linz Opera in June 2025, confirming her reputation for musical precision and stage assurance under pressure. She has also performed leading roles such as the Contessa di Almaviva (Le Nozze di Figaro) at the Opéra de Toulon, Donna Anna (Don Giovanni) at both the Garsington Opera Festival and the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées with the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris, Donna Elvira at the Bregenzer Festspiele, and Micaëla (Carmen) with Opera North, among others.

Her repertoire includes roles such as Pamina (Die Zauberflöte), Mimì (La Bohème), Antonia (Les Contes d’Hoffmann), Marguerite (Faust), Juliette (Roméo et Juliette), Fiordiligi (Così fan tutte), Violetta (La Traviata), Rosalinde (Die Fledermaus), Hannah Glawari (The Merry Widow), Leïla (Les Pêcheurs de Perles), Cleopatra (Giulio Cesare), and Liù (Turandot). More recently, she made her debut as Madama Butterfly and is now adding arias from Manon Lescaut, Tosca, and Arabella to her repertoire, with an eye toward future Lyric Spinto roles.

Beyond opera, Provenzale is widely recognized for her refined musicality in the symphonic and vocal-symphonic repertoire, having performed Mahler’s symphonies and Rückert Lieder, Strauss’s Vier letzte Lieder, Carmina Burana, and works by Beethoven, Mozart, and Villa-Lobos, as well as contemporary composers such as Edino Krieger and João Guilherme Ripper.

She is the featured soloist of the ongoing Amazônia project conceived by Sebastião Salgado and Simone Menezes, which combines Salgado’s powerful photographs of the Amazon rainforest with the music of Heitor Villa-Lobos. Sponsored worldwide by Zurich Insurance, the project has toured more than fifteen cities across eight countries and includes her acclaimed recording of Villa-Lobos’s Amazon Forest with the Philharmonia Zürich, released by Alpha Classics.

Provenzale first gained international recognition at the prestigious Neue Stimmen competition in Germany, followed by success in the Paris Opera Competition, Belvedere Competition, Maria Callas Competition, Operalia, and BBC Cardiff Singer of the World. She received a scholarship from the Plácido Domingo Foundation to join his Opera Studio in Spain, touring globally for two years in opera concerts alongside Plácido Domingo and conductor Eugene Kohn.

A graduate in Lyric Singing from the University of São Paulo, Camila further refined her artistry at the Opera Studio and Opera Academy of Theatro São Pedro. Guided by her mentor Jack LiVigni, she continues to evolve as an artist, captivating audiences worldwide with her vocal versatility, emotional depth, and commanding stage presence.

REVIEWS

".... she also possesses stage presence and a beautiful voice... strong, with a lovely tone, secure pitch, and excellent projection." movimento.com Fabiano Gonçalves, October 2015 "There are also striking turns from Camila Titinger, who brings real pathos to the part of Micaela—the woman abandoned by José in favour of Carmen." British Theatre Guide James Ballands, October 2021 "…. Micaela - a performance of infinite colour from soprano Camilla Titinger." Ilkey Gazette Geoffrey Mogridge, October 2021 "Her more conventional rival, Micaela – here pregnant with Don José’s child, though his interest in her is minimal – receives an impressively lyrical interpretation from Camila Titinger." George Hall, October 2021 The Stage "Throughout, he sets her upon an earnest mission to deliver sorrowful messages to Don José from his dying mother. She sings her arias most beautifully, with an almost Puccinian rapture, the stamp of unconfined lyricism marking her entire performance." Leeds Living Tom Tollet, October 2021 "...and Camila Titinger’s soft-toned Micaëla has power where it counts." The Guardian Erica Leal, October 2021 "Soprano Camila Titinger played Micaela with considerable force and subtlety, the pathos very apparent whenever she appeared." Richard Wildocks, October 2021 Yorkshire Times "Camila Titinger, the Italian-Brazilian soprano, has a lovely voice and succeeded well in being the spurned and heavily pregnant Micaela." Bach Track Richard Trinder, October 2021 "...Camila Titinger caresses her bump for extra pathos as she sings her main aria so beautifully!" Mature Times – The voice of our generation Eileen Caiger Gray, October 2021 "...firm, with a beautiful timbre, secure pitch, and excellent projection. Her second act aria, Comme autrefois, was beautifully interpreted, but her great moment was the following duet with the tenor: lyrical, vibrant, passionate. And there was also the great scene with Zurga in the first part of the final act (Je frémis, je chancelle), which the soprano faced with bravery. At the moment of applause, her gesture of kissing the stage was beautiful. Camila Titinger is an artist to be watched with great attention." Os Pescadores de Pérolas (Leila), Festival de Ópera do Teatro da Paz, Belém Leonardo Marques, September 2015 movimento.com "Lyrical soprano voice with seductive high notes and consistency throughout its range." La Clemenza di Tito, Theatro São Pedro, São Paulo Ali Hassan Ayache, February 2015 movimento.com "The young soprano Camila Titinger, who played the priestess Leila, displayed a beautiful voice and good presence. Titinger knew how to integrate well with the renowned Portari and Neiva, demonstrating personality and great artistic potential." Os Pescadores de Pérolas (Leila), Festival de Ópera do Teatro da Paz, Belém. Nelson Rubens Kunze, September 2015 concerto.com.br Mozart’s terrifying opera buffa isn’t just playing it for laughs "The Commendatore’s daughter, Donna Anna (Camila Titinger), sang elegantly, becoming stronger and more impassioned in her final two arias “Crudele? Ah! No mio bene” and “Non me dir”." Maureen Idowu henleystandard.co.uk Simone Menezes con la Orquesta Nacional de España por «A floresta do Amazonas» "The soprano Camila Provenzale dazzled and pleasantly surprised. She was a discovery. This was not a score for a display of fireworks. Nevertheless, the characterization and the exoticism with which she colored her voice were prodigious, absolutely enveloped in the poetic image of the piece. There is in her art an underlying idea of warmth that is extremely difficult to achieve. After her first intervention halfway through the work, with a tender and innocent song that spoke of sailboats and the swaying of waves, the emotional audience interrupted the transition to the next movement with long and sincere applause. How beautiful." Enrique Montesdeoca Lagares, October 16, 2023 www.codalario.com "[...] renosing it into a more practical 45-minute symphonic suite with soprano (Camila Provenzale: dreamily wistful in Canção do amor)." Amazônia Claire Jackson, October 2023 www.classical-music.com Villa-Lobos: Suite Floresta do Amazonas review – a hymn to the abundance of the rainforest "But even in this abridged version it is hard to resist the scope of the work and its moments of intense beauty particularly in the vocal movements, rapturously sung by Camila Provenzale – while stylistically it encapsulates much of the history of music in the first half of the 20th century in a very distinctive way." Andrew Clements, September 2023 www.theguardian.com So notwendig und so schön "Often, singing also came into play, offered by soprano Camila Provenzales with round volume and beautiful breadth." Bernhard Uske, September 2024 - Frankfurter Rundschau Monumental und doch zerbrechlich "The Brazilian conductor Simone Menezes, who in close collaboration with Salgado adapted the suite, shortened from 75 to just under 45 minutes for the project, also brought out many subtleties and more advanced elements with the excellently prepared hr-Sinfonieorchester and the soprano Camila Provenzale, who was required in three songs. The monumental sections at first perfectly complemented Salgado's often helicopter-shot wide-angle views, taken under dangerous weather conditions, with powerful cloud formations and reflections in the water, mountains, waterfalls." Guido Holze, September 2024 - Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
