Described by the press as a real mezzo soprano, Maria Zoi has received critical acclaim in both Europe and the US for her versatility, wide vocal range and unique voice timbre. Originally from Greece she is pursuing an international operatic career from her base in London. Career highlights include performances with Altmark Festspiele Berlin, The Metropolitan Opera Guild, Teatro Grattacielo NY, Opera Florham NJ, Nuernberger Symphoniker and the Greek National Opera among others. Her talent has been endorsed by prominent operatic figures such as Jose Carreras ("a voice that will be heart at the theatres") and Ermonela Jaho (when Maria sings one can "hear" her soul - grande). Ms Zoi holds a Doctorate equivalent Meisterklasse Gesang in Classical Singing from the University of Music and Performing Arts of Munich. She has been awarded the prestigious Richard Wagner scholarship by the city of Duesseldorf and has been a winner in the Edward M. Murray International Opera Competition of Opera Ithaca, New York (2019). Maria will be heard next as Bradamante in Orlando Furioso by Vivaldi with a major Spanish opera house in November 2025.
