Czech mezzo-soprano and contralto Kamila Mazalová studied singing with Drahomíra Míčková at the Janáček Academy of Music and the Performing Arts in Brno and then at the University of Ostrava. In autumn 2011 she won the audience prize during the final round of the Concours International de Chant Baroque in Froville.
Since 2010 she has been a member of the Tiburtina Ensemble under the direction of Barbora Kabátková. She is also a member of the Prague-based Collegium 1704, with whom she performs throughout Europe. In June 2008 she appeared alongside the ensemble as Tangia in Gluck’s opera Le cinesi.
Her other operatic roles include Eudamia (Vivaldi’s Dorilla in Tempe) and Lisetta (Haydn’s Il mondo della luna) at the 2008 Znojmo Music Festival, as well as playing the Small Arab, the Young Sailor and the Woman Selling Poultry (Martinů’s Julietta) at the Janáček Theatre in Brno in a production by Jiří Nekvasil in spring 2009 and 2011.
Earlier this year, Kamila Mazalová released a CD of songs for Czech Radio by Austrian-Bohemian composer Wenzel Johann Tomaschek with pianist Monika Knoblochová.
