Armenian soprano Mané Galoyan, winner of the 2021 Operalia Second Prize, Zarzuela Prize, and Rolex Audience Prize, was described by Online Merker as "a magnificently dazzling, lyrical soprano, whose infinite, sul fiato floating piani in the shattering solo 'Senza mamma' is nothing short of magical." She was also hailed for her recent "spellbinding performance" of Traviata by the Santa Fe New Mexican. Galoyan's 2024-2025 season highlights include a house debut at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, where she will sing Gilda in Rigoletto. She will also make her role and house debut as Micaëla in Carmen at the Royal Opera House in London, and have two more role and house debuts: as Vitellia in La Clemenza di Tito at the Monte Carlo Opera and as Liu in Turandot at the Theater Basel. Additionally, Mane will return to the Bayerische Staatsoper as Adina in L'elisir d'amore. Last season, she performed Suor Angelica and Lauretta in a new production of Il Trittico at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Pamina in Die Zauberflöte at the Wiener Staatsoper, Donna Anna in Don Giovanni with the Canadian Opera Company, Violetta in La traviata with Santa Fe Opera and Deutsche Oper Berlin, Suor Angelica with the Bayerische Staatsoper, and the title role in The Cunning Little Vixen with Detroit Opera. Some concert highlights included Rachmaninoff’s The Bells with The Hallè at the BBC Proms, a performance with Plácido Domingo and the Sinfonietta de Lisboa, and a gala concert with the Detroit Opera Orchestra.
