About Anna
Followed by over 8 million fans on Instagram, Anna Azerli has become one of today’s most distinctive voices—an artist who bridges classical mastery, cinematic expression, and modern emotion.
Her international career spans performances on some of the world’s most prestigious stages, including Semperoper Dresden, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Cologne Opera, Leipzig Opera, Aachen Opera (Theater Aachen), Darmstadt State Opera, Dortmund Opera, Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, Teatro La Fenice in Venice, Arena di Verona, Kölner Philharmonie, Gewandhaus Leipzig, Opéra National de Paris—Grand Opéra (Palais Garnier), Théâtre du Capitole de Toulouse, and Opéra de Marseille.
She has also appeared at leading European festivals such as the Bregenz Festival, as well as numerous Italian and Spanish opera galas.
A spinto-dramatic soprano, Anna is celebrated for the emotional power and extraordinary range of her voice. After her debut at Teatro alla Scala in Milan at the age of nineteen, she quickly rose to prominence on the international opera scene, captivating audiences with her artistry and magnetic stage presence.
Over the years, Anna has shared the stage with the likes of Luciano Pavarotti and Plácido Domingo, and has worked under the batons of legendary conductors such as James Levine, Riccardo Muti, and Claudio Abbado.
She has also performed extensively with the Strauss Festival Orchestra Vienna under the direction of Peter Guth, with whom she toured throughout Europe—appearing in some of the continent’s grandest concert halls, including the Kölner Philharmonie, the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Alte Oper Frankfurt, and leading venues in Paris and France’s largest symphonic stages.
Together, they presented a series of acclaimed symphonic and operatic galas that united elegance, virtuosity, and the timeless brilliance of the Viennese tradition.
Anna was also honored by a special performance at Carnegie Hall in New York, where she presented Verdi’s La Forza del Destino in a concert version — a highlight that marked her American debut and reaffirmed her place among the world’s elite sopranos.
Anna’s repertoire embraces the great masters—Verdi, Puccini, Tchaikovsky, and Mozart—and she has performed Verdi’s La Forza del Destino over 200 times worldwide, a role that has become her artistic signature.
Beyond opera, Anna has recorded several acclaimed albums, including the gold-certified Golden Album of Lehár Operettas and the Italian pop-classical hit L’indomani, which achieved national success.
Among the highlights of her career are special performances for His Royal Highness the Prince of Monaco, a royal engagement before Queen Elizabeth II, and a state performance for the President of France—moments reflecting her rare combination of elegance, prestige, and artistic sincerity.
Now based in Hollywood, California, Anna continues to captivate global audiences. With her new Christmas EP and her fourth appearance at the Hollywood Christmas Parade, she brings warmth, beauty, and brilliance to the holiday season.
Her performance will be broadcast nationwide on December 12 on the CW Network.
“The holidays are about belonging—about feeling safe, loved, and connected,” she says. “When I sing these songs, I want people to feel that warmth, as if they’re home.”
Pop Star Magazine has already named her Favorite Christmas Performance of 2025, celebrating both her voice and her authenticity.
“I never left opera,” Anna smiles. “I simply expanded my world. I love experimenting, creating music that moves the heart. Creativity means freedom and courage. If even one song makes someone’s heart feel lighter,” she says, “then I’ve done my job.”
