Joanna Mongiardo

Joanna Mongiardo has been lauded for her “smooth, plummy, seamlessly blended soprano and fluid coloratura,” (BachTrack) in operatic and orchestral performances worldwide. The soprano was recently recognized as “a triumph” by Opera News for her portrayal of Rosalina in Teatro Gratticielo’s Il Re at Lincoln Center, and The Boston Globe wrote about Boston Midsummer Opera’s L’elisir d’amore, "Joanna Mongiardo’s Adina delivered with style and luster." In 2022, Mongiardo celebrated the release of her first solo album, Evermore on Crossover Records, recorded live at Opera America. Recent engagements include the title role in Semiramide with Opéra Nice Côte d’Azur, Brigitta in Iolanta with Dallas Opera, Cinna in Lucio Silla with Odyssey Opera, Messiah with National Chorale and Mahler’s 4th Symphony with Novus NY. Joanna’s signature roles include Sophie in Der Rosenkavalier, Juliette in Roméo et Juliette, Anne Trulove in The Rake’s Progress, and Blonde in Die Entführung aus dem Serail, which she has performed with Grande Théâtre de Genève, Opéra de Nice, and Deutsche Oper am Rhein. She has performed Carmina Burana with more than 15 orchestras, including Philadelphia Orchestra, Detroit Symphony, National Symphony Orchestra, and Oratorio Society of New York.
