Eliana Pretorian
“Eliana Pretorian as Adina is simply stunning. Not only her strong but clear singing voice, but also her looks and her elegance as she moves around the stage, are perfection.” (The Stage)
Biography
Eliana Pretorian’s outstanding early potential was recognised by Glyndebourne Festival Opera with whom she made her company debut in 2009 as Giannetta (L’elisir d’amore) under Maurizio Benini. With Glyndebourne on Tour she has appeared as Papagena (Die Zauberflöte), Dew Fairy (Hänsel und Gretel), Karolka (Jenůfa), and this season she appears as Zerlina (Don Giovanni). Other roles include Naiad (Ariadne auf Naxos) and Clorinda (La Cenerentola) both for Garsington Opera, Despina (Così fan tutte) for Longborough Festival Opera, and Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro) for English Touring Opera.
In concert, she has sung Handel’s Messiah with The Philadelphia Orchestra under Christopher Warren-Green, Dircé (Médée) with the Gulbenkian Orchestra under Lawrence Foster, Haydn’s The Creation with the Orchestra of St John’s, and Haydn opera arias with the Classical Opera Company.
She was awarded a full scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music and graduated from the National Opera Studio in 2008.
Reviews
“Eliana Pretorian and Lisa Crosato are the best sung and most sharply contrasted pair of harridans I’ve seen.” (The Times, June 2010)
“[Eliana Pretorian’s] Giannetta, usually a cipher, comes up delightfully, believably minxish.” (The Times, July 2009)
“Eliana Pretorian as Adina is simply stunning. Not only her strong but clear singing voice, but also her looks and her elegance as she moves around the stage, are perfection.” (The Stage, February 2007)
“Eliana Pretorian, doubling as Amor and the priapic Valletto, gave two dazzling performances: bringing the text to life, singing with style, colour, and vivacity, and moving with the panache and control of a trained dancer.” (The Independent, December 2006)
“Eliana Pretorian almost stole the show, both as the cabaret-girl Amor (with wig, top hat, tails and tights successively in scarlet, black and silver) and as the precociously roguish page boy.” (Musical Pointers, December 2006)
