Tatiana Serjan
Soprano Tatiana Serjan was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, where she began her musical studies — piano at the music college, choral conducting at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, and vocal performance at the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory. She completed her education at the Academy for Voice in Torino, Italy, studying with Franca Mattiuci. After winning several vocal competitions, she made her debut as Violetta in Verdi’s La traviata at the Opera Studio of St. Petersburg in 1994, and also appeared in Puccini’s La bohème and Mozart’s Così fan tutte. She performed Shostakovich’s Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk with Mstislav Rostropovich conducting the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Society. Her Italian debut took place in Torino in 2002, where she sang the role of Lady Macbeth in Verdi’s opera Macbeth, a role she subsequently performed in Athens, Palermo, Tokyo, Ravenna, Madrid, Trieste, and Bologna. She sang in Puccini’s Tosca at the Teatro Comunale in Bologna and at Teatro Massimo in Palermo. Ms. Serjan appeared in the title role of Hindemith’s Sancta Susanna, led by Riccardo Muti, at the Ravenna Festival, and has also performed the work at the Teatro National Sao Carlos in Lisbon, and the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. She reprises the role in her New York Philharmonic debut with Riccardo Muti.
