BIOGRAPHY

Following her first debuts in Annina in Brockhaus’s La Traviata (2011) and as the 2nd fairy in A Midsummer Night’s Dream by F. Mendelssohn at the Sferisterio in Macerata (2013), Mariangela Marini had her debut as Ulrica in Un ballo in maschera, as Jessie in Mahagonny Songspiel by Brecht/Weill, and in the title role in Bizet’s Carmen for the Teatro Sperimentale in Spoleto (2016- 2017).

In 2018 she sang the role of Flora in La Traviata for the Macerata Opera Festival at the Sferisterio of Macerata, and the role of Alberto in Il Noce di Benevento by Balducci for the Pergolesi Spontini Festival of Jesi under the direction of Davide Garattini. In 2019 she interpreted Clarina in La Cambiale di Matrimonio by G. Rossini at Rossini Teather in Pesaro for the Winter ROF. M. Jonathan Webb chose her again to interpret the role of Jessie in Mahagonny for the Camerata Strumentale di Prato. For the Petruzzelli Theater in Bari, she sang the role of the Fox in the opera Ciao Pinocchio by Paolo Arcà and directed by Walter Pagliaro.

At the Arena of Verona, she interpreted the role of Mercedes in Carmen by G. Bizet under the artistic direction of M. Daniel Oren and with the direction of Hugo de Ana. Later she sang again La Traviata at the San Carlo Theater in Naples and Lola in Cavalleria Rusticana at the Petruzzelli Theater in Bari (directed by Michele Mirabella, artistic direction by Renato Palumbo).

In 2020 she decided to start tackling Verdi’s repertoire and she was admitted to the Verdian Academy at the Teatro Regio in Parma. During the summer, she had her debut for the Teatro Regio in Parma as Maddalena and Giovanna in Rigoletto al Barsò.  She debuted as Charlotte in Werther by J. Massenet for the Circuito Aslico. She performed on the opening night in Como and Pisa and was part of the tournée, directed by Stefano Vizioli and with artistic directions by Francesco Pasqualetti.

REVIEWS

Il Trittico by G. Puccini at Teatro Principal de Palma – November 2023

“Rutllaven també els secundaris (…) però sobretot Mariangela Marini com a Frugola, interpretant tant Hai ben ragione com Ho sognata una casetta, apujant el llistó.

(…)

Arribà el moment culminant, amb la seva vigília, l’aparició de la Zia principessa, de bell nou Mariangela Marini en acció i la situació se situa a gran nivell, amb el duel amb Suor Angelica (…).

– J.A. Mendiola, arabalears.cat

Il Trittico by G. Puccini at Teatro Principal de Palma – November 2023

“(…) hay que aplaudir la magistral ejecución de Mariangela Marini como Frugola y posteriormente como Zia.”

– Eugènia Gallego, operaactual.com

La Traviata by G. Verdi at Teatro di San Carlo – May 2021

“Tra i ruoli secondari merita un encomio la Flora Bervoix di Mariangela Marini, dal timbro affascinante e dalla figura avvenente”
– Luigi Raso, apemusicale.it

Werther by J. Massenet at Teatro Sociale di Como – October 2020

“Accanto a lui, troviamo la Charlotte spontanea e potentemente drammatica di Mariangela Marini. In possesso di una vocalità tornita di seducente tinta ambrata, nell’insieme di buon peso e omogenea nell’emissione, luminosa e ghermita in acuto, il mezzosoprano interpreta con convinzione l’attesa aria delle lettere, intrisa di angoscia e tragicità. Valida è anche la resa dei momenti maggiormente sentimentali, quale il duetto d’amore con Werther “Il faut nous séparer”.”

– Stefano Balbiani, connessiallopera.it
