BIOGRAPHY

A Spanish soprano from Granada, Rocío Faus enjoys a vibrant operatic career across Spain and Italy, moving with ease from baroque and bel canto to contemporary opera and zarzuela. She has been awarded in several internationally renowned competitions, notably winning three prizes at the 61st Tenor Viñas International Singing Competition.

Engagements in the 2025/26 season include her debut as Micaëla in Bizet’s Carmen at the Teatro Grande di Brescia, Teatro Sociale di Como, Teatro Ponchielli di Cremona, Teatro Fraschini di Pavia, and Teatro Gaetano Donizetti di Bergamo; her role debut as Inés in Verdi’s Il trovatore at the Teatro Real; Inés in El gitano por amor with the Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid; and a concert with the Orquesta Barroca de Sevilla.

Recent highlights feature her 2024/25 portrayal of Condesa de San Luis – the leading role in Helena Cánovas’s Don Juan no existe – a production by Teatro Real, in a co-production with the Gran Teatre del Liceu, Teatro de la Maestranza, and the Festival de Peralada. In recent seasons, Rocío Faus has also appeared on the Teatro Real’s main stage as Armida in Handel’s Rinaldo and as Miss Jessel in Britten’s The Turn of the Screw.

In 2025, she also performed as Clorinda in La Cenerentola at the Festival de Música y Danza de Granada, Musetta in Puccini’s La bohème with Temporada lírica de Granada and Teatro Isabel la Católica, and Frasquita in Carmen (in concert) with Foundation Orquesta y Coro de la Comunidad de Madrid, among others.

Previous notable projects include Gilda in Rigoletto at ABAO Bilbao Opera, and her debut as Musetta in La bohème at the Teatro Duse di Bologna, Teatro Consorziale di Budrio, and Teatro Ebe Stignani di Imola. Another standout was her performance in the zarzuela Luisa Fernanda alongside mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča, under the baton of Karel Mark Chichon, heard on the main stage of the Teatro Real and at the Auditorio Alfredo Kraus in Gran Canaria. Rocío Faus also took part in the renowned Festival della Valle d’Itria in Martina Franca, singing Ernestina in La scuola dei gelosi, and recorded a CD featuring works by Nino Rota.

Rocío Faus holds a degree in Solo Violin from the “Victoria Eugenia” Conservatory in Granada, and a degree in Lyric Singing from the “Escuela Superior de Canto” in Madrid. She completed her vocal studies in Italy at the Luigi Cherubini Conservatory in Florence. She continues to refine her vocal technique with Francisco Crespo, and has also studied with Coral Morales, Susana Cordón, Ana Luisa Chova, Giulio Zappa, Irene Alfageme, among others.

REVIEWS

Carmen by G. Bizet w. AsLiCo (Associazione Lirica e Concertistica Italiana) (Oct. 2025)

“nel cast vocale spicca Rocio Faus”
“La Micaëla di Rocio Faus è certamente la più convincente della serata, già dal suo ingresso. Da brividi.”
– Giulio Solzi Gaboardi, laprovinciacr.it (Cremona)

“Bellissima la Micaëla, di Rocio Faus. Musicalmente splendida. Artista carica di sentimenti ‘gentili’ che sa tramutare in un’esecuzione cristallina. Dove la malinconia e la delusione escono in registri gestiti con facilità e sagacia.”
– Roberto Fiorentini, cremonasera.it (Cremona)

“Pure la Micaëla di Rocío Faus si rivela particolarmente riuscita, con chiaro picco interpretativo nella sua aria del terzo atto: il colore è quello del soprano lirico puro, dalle belle inflessioni, morbidissimo nell’emissione e capace di sfoggiare un fraseggio accurato e sensibile.”
– William Giuseppe Costabile Cisco, GBOpera (Como)

“Scenicamente aggraziata, il soprano granadino Rocío Faus spicca per la voce garbata e adamantina, luminosa in acuto, dalla linea di canto tersa. La sua è una Micaëla fresca e coraggiosa, potentemente accorata nell’aria del III atto “Je dis que rien ne m’épouvante”, siglata da un’accoglienza festante.”
– Stefano Balbiani, connessiallopera.it (Como)
