Awarded Best Female Vocal at the Hollywood Music Awards, soprano Elisabetta Russo is praised for her refined bel canto technique and her ability to connect warmly with audiences worldwide through an elegant grand-gala style.
She received her formal training in Italy, studying at the Conservatory and at the National Academy of Santa Cecilia in Rome under the guidance of Renata Scotto. She further refined her artistry at the Chigiana Academy in Siena with Renato Bruson, and at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro, working under the musical direction of Alberto Zedda.
She is widely acclaimed for her leading roles in both Opera (Don Pasquale by Donizetti, Così Fan Tutte by Mozart, Rigoletto, and Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi) and Musical Theatre (The Phantom of the Opera by Webber and Carousel by Hammerstein II). She is also praised for her collaboration with film composers and Oscar winners such as Ennio Morricone and Nicola Piovani, and world-renowned artists such as Andrea Bocelli, David Foster, Marco Boemi, and Gianna Fratta. Following a landmark concert at Paramount Studios with Andrea Bocelli and David Foster, Elisabetta relocated from Italy to Los Angeles, where she has since built an international career spanning Europe and North America. Her notable appearances include New York Fashion Week, the Staples Center in Los Angeles as guest soloist for the LA Clippers’ National Anthem, recitals at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, and performances at the Chicago Cultural Center. Her recent engagements also include performances at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Warner Bros. Studios, Zipper Hall, and The Broad Stage in Los Angeles.
Deeply committed to community engagement, Elisabetta regularly collaborates with nonprofit and charitable organizations, lending her artistry to events supporting cultural, educational, and humanitarian causes.
