Highlights include the UK premiere of Argentinian Composer Osvaldo Golijov’s “Ainadamar” with WNO and Scottish Opera, and the role of Lyra in Seaglass Arts “Catch a Sea Star”, an interactive opera for babies based on works by J.S Bach, performed at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg and at The Clore Studio, Royal Opera House.
Other recent projects include directing and co-creating a new immersive opera for families with composer Lucy Mulgan “Fly with The Valkyries”, for The Royal Opera House and covering the roles of Lauretta and Claudia in “Gianni Scicchi” or “Where There’s A Will” with Opera Up Close.
Her forthcoming project, “Songs for Survivors of the 21st Century”, is an innovative new opera installation by Vanessa Oaks and composer Vahan Salorian, which works with community members as survivors of the 21st century epidemic of loneliness. Chiara is currently in R&D for a new opera for babies with @seaglassartsuk “Dream Forest” set to tour the UK and Europe in 2027.
