Aida Garifullina is one of the world's premier sopranos, earning accolades from luminaries such as Placido Domingo and Andrea Bocelli. Her illustrious career includes performances at the most prestigious opera houses globally and the release of her self-titled debut album on Decca Records.

Recently, Garifullina performed "Carmen," "Flower Duet," and "Barcarolle" with classical crossover star HAUSER at the Royal Albert Hall. This summer, she will grace two major events: the 50 Years of Placido Domingo celebration in Salzburg and Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration in Tuscany, joining an all-star lineup that includes Ed Sheeran, Shania Twain, David Foster, Lang Lang, and Laura Pausini. Reflecting on her recent performance, Aida said, “What a magical experience performing in front of such an incredible audience at one of the most beautiful venues in the world with Hauser.”

This summer, Garifullina will embark on a world tour, with stops from Seoul to Santander. In September, she will return to London for performances of "La Traviata" at The Royal Opera House.

Born in 1987 in Kazan, Garifullina's talent emerged early, with her first televised performance at the age of five. Her studies took her to Nuremberg and Vienna, culminating in her winning First Prize at Placido Domingo’s 2013 Operalia Competition. She then joined the ensemble of the Vienna Staatsoper and performed under the baton of renowned conductors such as Gustavo Dudamel, Zubin Mehta, Kent Nagano, Antonio Pappano, and Yannick Nézet-Séguin.

Garifullina's acclaim includes winning Solo Album of the Year at the Echo Classical Awards and a Grammy nomination for Best Opera Recording for Rimsky-Korsakov’s "The Golden Cockerel." Her notable moments include guesting on Andrea Bocelli’s UK and US #1 album "Si," performing at the BBC Proms in Hyde Park, and singing for Pope Francis at the Vatican’s Concerto di Natale.

Her versatile talent has led her to mainstream success, with appearances in the Oscar-nominated film "Florence Foster Jenkins" with Meryl Streep and performing alongside Robbie Williams at the 2018 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony.
