Born in Sweden but with Chilean roots, Luciana Mancini studied singing and historical performance practice at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. Her repertory reaches from the Middle Ages to the present day, and from well-known operatic repertoire to world music.
She sings regularly at leading concert halls and opera houses, including Berlin State Opera, Baden-Baden Festspielhaus, Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, the Teatro Real in Madrid, London’s Wigmore Hall, the Cologne Philharmonie, the Franz Liszt Academy of Music and Müpa in Budapest, the Dutch National Opera and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and at Drottningholm Court Theatre, the Vienna Musikverein, Theater an der Wien, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne and the Teatro Comunale in Ferrara, as well as at many famous churches throughout Europe.
Luciana Mancini has enjoyed a long and fruitful collaboration with Christina Pluhar and L’Arpeggiata, with whom she has recorded Monteverdi’s Vespro della Beata Vergine, along with the albums Los Impossibles and Los Pajaros Perdidos: The South American Project, and given performances of Bontempi’s Il Paride. Luciana Mancini has also participated in performances of Luigi Rossi’s Il palazzo incantato, in the CD recording Orfeo Chamán (2016), in performances of Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo and in various concert programmes on tour worldwide.
