We are very excited to announce our collaboration with Israeli mezzo-soprano Anna Tetruashvili, and are pleased to take over her artist management.
On May 4, 2025, Anna Tetruashvili won first prize for female voices at the Tereza Berganza Competition, part of Cascais Opera. Parnassus Arts Productions warmly congratulates her on this achievement.
Anna is a rising lyric mezzo-soprano and currently a member of the Opera Studio of the Gärtnerplatztheater in Munich. She made her debut at the Salzburg Whitsun Festival in May 2024 in the role of Annio in La Clemenza di Tito, conducted by Gianluca Capuano and staged by Robert Carsen. Performing alongside Cecilia Bartoli, Daniel Behle, Mélissa Petit, and Ildebrando D’Arcangelo, she was named one of the “5 outstanding emerging artists” of the prestigious festival by The New York Times in August 2024:
“…Tetruashvili […] transitioned convincingly from one emotion to the next, with a consistently beautiful tone that was at times surprisingly powerful…” She reprised the role of Annio at the Salzburg Festival in summer 2024.Read More
