Agnese Gallenzi is set to make an exciting mark at Sarasota Opera during its highly anticipated 2026–27 season, appearing as a Studio Artist in one of the company’s most dynamic and forward-looking seasons to date.

Gallenzi will debut the role of Echo in Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos**, a sparkling blend of mythological drama and theatrical comedy.

In addition to her featured appearance in Ariadne auf Naxos, Gallenzi will cover the demanding title role of Violetta Valéry in Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata. As one of opera’s most iconic and vocally challenging heroines, Violetta represents a major milestone for any young soprano. Sarasota Opera’s 2027 production of La Traviata anchors the Winter Festival and continues the company’s long-standing commitment to the Italian repertoire.
