  • The 30-year-old soprano Ekaterina Bakanova was in the midst of a routine rehearsal at the Royal Opera House in July 2015 when she was rushed into the spotlight. The star of that evening’s “La Traviata” performance at the same venue was unwell — could Ms. Bakanova step in and sing the title role of Violetta in Verdi’s opera five hours later?

  • La soprano Internazionale Ekaterina Bakanova, addetta culturale del Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia di Roma, Ambasciatrice della Cultura Italiana nel Mondo per il Parlamento Europeo in Italia e Direttore Area Cultura Remind, sarà protagonista stasera a Venezia: “Dedico il debutto di "Fidelio" nei panni di Marzelline ai diritti dell’infanzia e la rappresentazione del 25 novembre a contrastare la violenza sulle donne.

  • Russian soprano Ekaterina Bakanova stepped in to sing Violetta at Covent Garden with only hours’ notice, and gave the performance of her life.

  • The youthful cast is dominated by Ekaterina Bakanova's secure presence as Magda. The Russian soprano mastered her role perfectly, with an elegant vocal characterization, well built sounds in the middle register and sure in the acuti.
    Renato Verga
  • Two years ago, Russian soprano Ekaterina Bakanova was thrust into her Royal Opera debut slightly earlier than billed. Five days before her planned house debut (Musetta in La bohème), Bakanova found herself stepping in as Violetta at short notice for an indisposed Sonya Yoncheva. By all accounts it was a triumph, enough for the powers that be to offer her a run of five performances this month.

She studied singing, piano and accordion. She developed her own artistic activity in Europe and, in particular, in Italy, becoming Italian by adoption. Her love for Italy led her to live in this nation where the artist carries out the promotional activity of opera music and culture in general. She is the winner of numerous important international and national competitions, awards and recognitions: Giuseppe Sciacca International Prize (Italy, 2021) A recognation on the side of NewsREMINDER and the European Parliament Italian Office as Ambassador of Italian Culture in the World (Italy, 2020) The Remin
