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

Read full press“Soprano Lucia Cesaroni sang Mimì’s music with consistent security and tonal beauty… her top As ideally lofted on the breath.”
“Lucia Cesaroni brilliantly portrayed the cleverness and playful elements of her role, with her clear soprano carrying the top line in the ensembles with authority.”
“Cesaroni has a beautiful rich voice and a gorgeous soft top register; she is also a consummate actor.”
“…and then turn around and invest an old chestnut like Lehár’s Vilja ballade with genuine feeling.”
“Lucia has a much richer, more resonant soprano.”
