Born in Moscow, Galina Averina graduated from the Russian Academy of Theatre Arts and went on to join the International Opera School of the Royal College of Music, in London. Prior to arriving in London in 2014, she was a member of the soloists’ ensemble at the Perm State Opera Theatre, and made her international debut in 2013 at the Dubrovnik Summer Festival and in the same year took part in the Les Azuriales Opera Festival in Nice, where she won the Haidee Saretski Prize at their Young Artists’ Competition.  Her many operatic roles include Atalanta Serse, Iphise in Rameau’s Dardanus, Ilia Idomeneo, Lauretta Gianni Schicchi, the title role in Partenope, Pamina The Magic Flute,  Fiordiligi Così fan tutte and Oscar Un ballo in maschera.

Galina is a member of the Samling Artist Programme, and was a member of the Wales International Academy of Voice, mentored by Dennis O’Neill, with kind support from Les Azuriales Opera Trust.  She also generously acknowledges the support she received via an Independent Opera Voice Scholarship and from the Kiri Te Kanawa UK Foundation.  After masterclasses with Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, she appeared in a recital next to her at Cadogan Hall in London.

Most recently she sang Susanna Le Nozze di Figaro for Mid Wales Opera, Marzelline Fidelio for Garsington Opera (also broadcast on Radio 3), and in summer 2021 her role debut as Magda La Rondine for West Green House Opera.
