    Sumi Jo

    Comedian, Director

    Sumi Jo is a South Korean coloratura soprano born in Seoul on November 22, 1962. After obtaining diplomas of singing and piano in her country, she came to Italy in 1983 to study singing at the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome, notably with tenor Carlo Bergonzi. She made her debut at Teatro Verdi in Trieste in 1986 as Gilda de Rigoletto. In 1988, she appeared for the first time at the Salzburg Festival in the small role of Barberine of the Marriage of Figaro and she sang the role of Oscar in a ball and masked the Queen of the Night of the Magic Flute. Since then, she has sung all the great roles of the coloratura repertoire as Lucia, Zerbinetta, Fiorilla, Amina, Elvira etc. under the leadership of famous chefs such as Georg Solti, Zubin Mehta, Lorin Maazel or Richard Bonynge. Far from confining herself to the Queen of the Night, which she has sung practically in all the operas of the world as well as in many recordings, she approaches other genres such as the French opera, whether it is light (Auber, Adam, Offenbach) or deeper (Massenet, Gounod, Charpentier), which is particularly suitable for his voice
