The Russian soprano Ljuba Kazarnovskaya received her musical education in Italian bel canto vocal training at the Moscow Conservatory and, for a period of thirteen years, in the art and interpretation of Russian song with Nadjezhda Malysheva, a piano pupil of Konstantin Igumnov, who had studied piano with Anton Rubinstein and composition with Tchaikovsky.

With a distinguished reputation already in Russia, the soprano Ljuba Kazarnovskaya made her international début at the Salzburg Festival, on the invitation of Herbert von Karajan, in a performance of Verdi’s Requiem under Riccardo Muti. Since then her career has taken her to leading opera houses throughout the world, including Covent Garden, the New York Metropolitan Opera, Hamburg, Vienna, Chicago and Houston.

She made her début at La Scala, Milan, in 1996 in Prokofiev’s The Gambler and in 1997 in Rome with Richard Strauss’s Salome. She has appeared with other singers of the greatest distinction under the world’s leading conductors, in a repertoire that includes forty leading rôles in Russian, Italian and German operas.
