An artist greatly in international demand, Mariana Flores has established herself as one of the most versatile and passionately engaged singers of her generation, as much at ease in Baroque and Mozartian repertoire as in the popular music of Argentina and of Latin America in general. A native of Argentina, she began her studies at the National University of Cuyo in Mendoza, before moving to Basel to study Baroque music at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis; today she follows the advice of her teacher Fernando Cordeiro Opa. Mariana has notably taken on the roles of goddesses, witches, and heroines in major operatic productions at leading opera houses and concert halls throughout Europe, America, and Australia. She recently triumphed at the Opéra Royal in Versailles in the title role of La Finta pazza by Francesco Sacrati, and in Canada with a concert tour of tangos by Astor Piazzolla. She is featured on numerous award-winning recordings, including the 2021 release of d’India’s Lamenti & Sospiri, Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo, and Sacrati’s La Finta pazza in 2022. In 2023, she released Alfonsina, a highly personal album of Argentine folk songs recorded with Quito Gato. In 2024, Mariana Flores returned to the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence to sing Amore and Minerva in Monteverdi’s Il Ritorno d’Ulisse in Patria, directed by Pierre Audi, before taking part in Seasons, Fabrice Murgia’s audacious creation at the Cité Bleue, combining cinema, theatre, and singing, in which she performs both Baroque and contemporary pop music. In November and December, she sings Bach’s Mass in B minor on an international tour of Canada and Brazil.
