Hailed by Online Musik Magazine as “unbelievably agile”, Gaja Vittoria’s repertoire spans from Baroque to contemporary music.   

Her upcoming engagements include her debut as Donna Elvira in Mozart’s Don Giovanni with TU Orchester in Vienna, and Leonora in Amor quando si fugge, allor si trova by Alessandro Scarlatti with the Orchestra Barocca Siciliana.

In 2025, she was a finalist in Elīna Garanca’s ZukunftsStimmen Competition and performed in Bulgaria at the Ruse March Music Days Festival, as well as in a charity concert at Vienna’s Borromäus Saal, where she sang Haydn’s Scena di Berenice with the VielHarmoniker Orchestra.                                                                                      In 2024, she received a Special Prize at the Cesti Competition and sang the title role in the modern premiere of Fux’s Regina Saba, conducted by Stefan Gottfried at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, earning the Fux Prize. That same year, she was selected for the Accademia Vivaldi at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice.

Gaja Vittoria also collaborated with the University of Sydney on the international research project Belcanto Rediscovered, contributing to the Beautiful Singing in Vienna symposium. Her work focused on emulating historical recordings to better understand and revive 19th-century vocal aesthetics and performance practices.

Passionate about both operatic and lied repertoire, she has presented themed art song recitals in duet with pianist Alessandro Del Gobbo, such as “DE MULIERIBUS: donne, streghe e sirene” and “Souvenirs d’Europe,” at several festivals, including Carniarmonie, Festival Internazionale di Musica Sacra, Mittelcult, and Filosofia in Città.

Born in Udine, Italy, she began her musical path as a violinist before graduating with a Master’s in Opera from the Conservatorio “J. Tomadini”, where she studied under Annamaria Dell’Oste and Ferdinando Mussutto. She later earned a second Master’s in Lied & Oratorio at the MDW University in Vienna, under the guidance of KS Krassimira Stoyanova, who continues to be her mentor.

In 2021, she joined the Rossini in Wildbad Festival Academy and sang Despina in a cinematic version of Così fan tutte directed by Mauro Trombetta. She made her stage debut as Despina at Teatro Savoia in Campobasso in 2020. In 2019, she performed Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro) at Teatro Comunale di Pergine Valsugana, Giannetta (L'elisir d’amore) with Piccolo Opera Festival FVG and Jerusalem Opera, covered Isabella (L’inganno felice) at Panicale Opera Festival, and sang Serpina (La serva padrona) at Cantiere all’Opera.

Her awards include 3rd Prize at the Seghizzi Lied Competition, the “Schiller” Special Prize for Lied at the SOI Fiorenza Cedolins Competition, and finalist placement at the Salice d’Oro Competition.
