Francesca Congiu is a classical music artist who has made a name for herself in the world of opera. Born in Sardinia, Italy, in 1986, Congiu grew up in a family of musicians. Her father was a pianist and her mother was a singer, so it was only natural that she would develop a love for music at a young age. Congiu began her musical education at the age of six, when she started taking piano lessons. She quickly showed a talent for the instrument, and by the time she was ten years old, she was already performing in public. However, it was not until she was a teenager that she discovered her true passion for singing. At the age of 16, Congiu began studying voice at the Conservatory of Cagliari, where she was mentored by the renowned soprano, Maria Grazia Pani. Under Pani's guidance, Congiu developed her vocal technique and began to explore the world of opera. In 2007, Congiu made her professional debut in the role of Cherubino in Mozart's "Le Nozze di Figaro" at the Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. The performance was a success, and Congiu quickly became known for her powerful voice and dynamic stage presence. Over the next few years, Congiu continued to perform in a variety of operas, including "La Traviata," "Carmen," and "Don Giovanni." In 2010, she won first prize in the Concorso Lirico Internazionale di Portofino, a prestigious singing competition in Italy. In 2012, Congiu was invited to perform at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, one of the most famous opera houses in the world. She sang the role of Rosina in Rossini's "Il Barbiere di Siviglia," and her performance was met with critical acclaim. Since then, Congiu has performed in opera houses all over the world, including the Royal Opera House in London, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, and the Paris Opera.
