We are talking about the soprano Dominika Zamara, an artist who has carved out a prominent place in the firmament of classical music. Polish by birth and Italian by adoption, she won a scholarship to the Conservatory of Verona in 2007 and graduated the following year with honors. It was in Italy, the country where she lives, that her career took off, marked by her 2010 debut as Mimì in Puccini’s La Bohème, conducted by Maestro Enrico De Mori.

The singer has distinguished herself on the most prestigious stages in the world, including Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall in New York, the Accademia del Teatro alla Scala in Milan, and the Venice Biennale, spanning opera, chamber music, and sacred repertoire. Her professional career, characterized by tours in Europe, the Americas, Asia, Oceania, and Africa at world-famous events, was further enriched in 2023 when she joined the artistic roster of the New York Composers Circle. Her vast repertoire ranges from Baroque to contemporary.

Between September and October, Dominika will be engaged in a rich series of events between Europe and the United States. It starts in Poland on September 12 in the city of Sandomierz, at the Royal Castle (Zamek Królewski), with the chamber music concert “Perły Polskiego i Włoskiego Belcanta” (Pearls of Polish and Italian bel canto), an event designed to explore the musical affinities between the two countries. She will then stop in Detroit for the “World Premier Opera Concert”, an event dedicated to contemporary music with world premieres of pieces written specifically for her voice.

Her temporary return to Europe will include a first stop in Milan, Italy, for a refined concert for voice and harp featuring concert arias by Bellini and Lieder by Chopin and Paderewski. The second stage will take her back to Poland, at the Bazylika Św. Jadwigi in Trzebnica, where she will perform Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater with the Orchestra of the Accademia di Santa Sofia and in duet with mezzo-soprano Marcella Parziale. The third European stage will finally take her back to Italy, to Pescia.

To close this intense period will be a tour in the United States, during which Dominika will perform in four concerts in San Diego together with guitarist Robert Wetzel and the Pacific Coast Orchestra, conducted by Maestro John Nettles. An interesting detail: California had already marked her American debut, held at the Warner Grand Theatre in Los Angeles, with an orchestra performing music by composer Maria Newman.
