Marina Pinchuk

Mezzo-soprano from Belarus, 32 years old

I was born in Mogilev and studied there and at the Rimsky-Korsakov St Petersburg State Conservatory, where I sang Olga Eugene Onegin, Lyubasha The Tsar’s Bride, Cherubino Le nozze di Figaro and Smeton Anna Bolena. I won third prize at the 2011 Anita Cerquetti International Voice Competition in Italy.

I made my debut as Olga with the Mikhaylovsky Theatre Company, where I have also sung Lyubasha, Polina Pique Dame, Varvara Katya Kabanova, Konchakovna Prince Igor and Flora La traviata. On tour in Asia in 2009, I performed Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and the role of Olga in Tokyo, Yokohama and Daegu, South Korea.

In 2011, I took part in the Accademia Rossiniana di Pesaro with Alberto Zedda, where I performed Maddalena Il viaggio a Reims. In 2013, I was selected to take part in the Opera Studio Centre de Perfeccionament Plácido Domingo in Valencia, performing Pisana Il due Foscari. Other highlights include Dunyasha The Tsar’s Bride at the Kazan State Theatre; Fenena Nabucco at Theater Comunale di Bologna in 2013; and the title roles Rinaldo and The Rape of Lucretia in Valencia in 2014.

Future plans include Die Walküre at Teatro Campoamor, Oviedo in September.

I enjoy jogging, reading and travelling.
