Fabiana Bravo, is an acclaimed Argentinean soprano opera singer, who has achieved international success both through her interpretation of concert literature and in her powerful portrayals of operatic heroines. In 1999, she was named Argentina’s Woman of the Year for her remarkable contributions to the arts. After an early career in musical theatre, she was introduced to the famous singer Luciano Pavarotti. She won his international competition, and also received numerous awards as a Plácido Domingo Operalia Finalist, Opera Index winner and Met Council Winner of the Regional Finalist Competition.


Ms. Bravo made her operatic debut in the role of Lucia di Lammermoor at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia with Luciano Pavarotti.

She also sings with Virginia Opera, where her performance of Donna Anna brought her recognition as a much sought-after artist.

She then studied verdian repertoire at the Verdi Opera Studio in Parma, Italy. Finally, she accepted a one year scholarship program to study in Voghera, Italy, at the Academy of Vocal Arts.
