Spanish soprano Lucía Iglesias has established herself in recent years as one of the most promising young voices of her generation. Since her professional debut in 2019 in Rossini’s La Cenerentola on the Òpera a Catalunya circuit, she has developed an increasingly active operatic career in Spain and Italy, with a particular affinity for the Mozartian and bel canto repertoire.
During the 2026/27 season, she will make her stage debut at the Teatro Real in Madrid as Barbarina in Le nozze di Figaro, in the new production by Robert Carsen. She will also make her debut at the Gran Teatre del Liceu as Papagena in a new production of Die Zauberflöte by Marcos Morau, and will appear in the new production of Britten’s Owen Wingrave at the Ópera de Tenerife as Mrs Coyle. She will also perform Blonde in Mozart’s Die Entführung aus dem Serail for the first time with the Orquesta Sinfónica de la Región de Murcia, and will give a recital as part of the Km 0 series presented by Ibermúsica at the Centro de Cultura Contemporánea Condeduque in Madrid, accompanied on piano by Marcos Madrigal.
During the 2025/26 season, she made her debut with ABAO Bilbao Opera as Sophie in Massenet’s Werther, performed Venus in La púrpura de la rosa as part of the Lima opera season, and sang Despina in Così fan tutte at the Teatro Sociale di Camogli. She also appeared as Pamina in a new family-friendly version of Die Zauberflöte, co-produced by the Teatro Real de Madrid and the Teatro de la Maestranza de Sevilla. In summer 2025, she had already made her debuts as Adina in L’elisir d’amore and Nannetta in Falstaff at the Teatro Mancinelli in Orvieto.
Other roles in her repertoire include Susanna in Le nozze di Figaro, Musetta in La bohème and Clorinda in La Cenerentola. She has performed at venues including the Teatro Real, Teatro de la Maestranza, ABAO Bilbao Opera, Teatro Mancinelli in Orvieto, Auditorio de Galicia, Palacio de la Ópera and Teatro Colón in A Coruña, among others.
She has worked with music directors including Víctor Pablo Pérez, José Miguel Pérez-Sierra, Giuseppe Finzi, Diego Martin-Etxebarria, Vittorio Parisi and Daniel Gil de Tejada, and with stage directors such as Graham Vick, Anna Ponces, Renato Bonajuto, Daniele Piscopo, Gabriella Ravazzi and Miquel Gorriz.
Lucía Iglesias was a member of the Teatro Real’s Crescendo programme, and has also represented the institution in various international engagements. Her musical training began with the Children’s and Youth Choir of the Orquesta Sinfónica de Galicia, where she worked with conductors including Ton Koopman, Dima Slobodeniuk, Carlos Mena and Miguel Ángel Gómez Martínez.
She has received prizes at competitions including the Veronica Dunne International Singing Competition, Clara Schumann Competition, Concorso Spazio Musica, Compostela Lírica, Germans Pla and Mirna Lacambra Competition, and has taken part in masterclasses with artists such as Lisette Oropesa, Mariella Devia, Nadine Sierra and Deborah Polaski.
