Hey, Meet Lucia(LC® — 01)©2026

An Italian-Canadian soprano with a “lush, creamy voice” and “giddy coloratura”, Lucia has made signature roles of Verdi’s Violetta, Puccini’s Mimì and Mozart’s Donna Anna, on opera stages across Canada, the United States and Italy.

On the Stage

Her voice has been heard at the Metropolitan Opera, with the Sinfonia Nazionale della RAI in Torino, the Toronto Symphony, the Canadian Opera Company, and in concert with Andrea Bocelli.

At the Podium

Galas, award ceremonies, conferences and speaker series. Lucia brings a performer’s timing and a host’s warmth to every room she steps into.
