Born in Thessaloniki, Greece,  Aphrodite  is one of the most  interesting rising stars of today. A celebrated soprano, she was one of the first artists to take part in Barbara Hannigan’s Equilibrium Young Artists Initiative as Anne Trulove (The Rake’s Progress) in 2018. Since then, she has worked with orchestras such as Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Gothenburg Symphony, Munich Philharmonic, SWR Sinfonieorchester, Concertgebouw Orchestra and Danish Radio Symphony among many others.

Her operatic roles also include Elle (La Voix Humaine), Susanna (Le Nozze di Figaro), Belinda (Dido & Aeneas), Sophie Scholl (Weisse Rose). She has performed in theatres including the Staatsoper Berlin, La Monnaie, Teatro Real Madrid, Greek National Opera.

Last season, she made her debut with the Cleveland Orchestra in the States and successfully toured with the London Symphony Orchestra in nine concerts, visiting Europe’s most prestigious halls, singing Mahler’s 4^th Symphony and Vivier’s Lonely Child. Her virtuosic performance of Britten’s Les Illuminations with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin conducted by Dalia Stasevska has been praised by the press. For this performance, Aphrodite created paintings inspired by the ten movements of Britten’s work, which were shared with the audience in printed form.
