Biography

Lucía Iglesias is one of the most promising young Spanish sopranos of her generation. She made her professional debut in 2019 with Rossini’s La Cenerentola in the Òpera a Catalunya circuit, launching a flourishing career that has since taken her to perform on major stages in Spain and Italy, including Madrid’s Teatro Real, the Teatro Mancinelli in Orvieto, the Auditorio de Galicia, the Palacio de la Ópera and Teatro Colón in A Coruña, and Barcelona’s Teatre Romea, among others.

Her most notable roles include Adina (L’elisir d’amore), Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro), Nannetta (Falstaff), Musetta (La Bohème), and Clorinda (La Cenerentola), roles that have earned her praise for her supple, luminous voice, captivating stage presence, and refined dramatic personality.

After debuting in the roles of Adina and Nannetta at the Teatro Mancinelli in Orvieto in the summer of 2025, she will make her ABAO Bilbao debut in January 2026 as Sophie in Massenet’s Werther.

She has collaborated with conductors such as Víctor Pablo Pérez, José Miguel Pérez-Sierra, Giuseppe Finzi, Diego Martin-Etxebarria, Vittorio Parisi, and Daniel Gil de Tejada, and with stage directors including Graham Vick, Anna Ponces, Renato Bonajuto, Daniele Piscopo, Gabriella Ravazzi, and Miquel Gorriz.

During her years in the Children’s and Youth Choir of the Galician Symphony Orchestra, where she also performed as a soloist, she worked under renowned conductors such as Ton Koopman, Dima Slobodeniuk, Carlos Mena, and Miguel Ángel Gómez Martínez, experiences that laid the foundation of her strong musical training.

She was a member of the Crescendo Program of Madrid’s Teatro Real, through which she also represented the institution in several international engagements, further showcasing her versatility and artistic maturity.

A prize-winner at prestigious competitions such as the Veronica Dunne International Singing Competition, the Clara Schumann Competition, the Concorso Spazio Musica, Compostela Lírica, Germans Pla, and the Mirna Lacambra Competition, Lucía Iglesias has received guidance and masterclasses with renowned artists including Lisette Oropesa, Mariella Devia, Nadine Sierra, and Deborah Polaski, and has studied primarily with her teachers Daniel Muñoz and Manuel Burgueras.

In addition to her solid vocal training, Iglesias has studied piano and is currently pursuing a PhD in Music at the International University of La Rioja.

Her passion for singing and opera began at eight years old, when she was chosen to perform a child’s role in Massenet’s Werther during the Mozart Festival of A Coruña, under the direction of Víctor Pablo Pérez and Graham Vick—an experience that marked the beginning of her lifelong journey in the world of opera.
