Blanca Graciá Rodríguez

The current Young Artist 23/24 répétiteur at the National Opera Studio in London, Blanca has been always passionate about the vocal repertoire. Driven by this interest, she graduated with honours as Master in Collaborative Piano at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerpen under the guidance of Jeanne Minette-Cilliers and Andrew Wise.

Since the beginning of her Collaborative studies, she has been involved in many opera productions, collaborating with notable names like Louisa Muller, Stijn Saveniers, Julia Mintzer, Keith Warner, Adele Thomas and Karen Kamensek among others. She also took part as an intern at the Opera Ballet Vlaanderen as a répétiteur and choir pianist for their productions Ernani and Le nozze di Figaro under the baton of Julia Jones and Marie Jacquot respectively.

Her passion for chamber music has been also important for her development, participating in lied masterclasses with names such as Simon Lepper, Hans Eisjackers, Malcolm Martineau, Joseph Middelton and Maciej Pikulski. Recently she performed at the Wigmore Hall under the guidance of Dearbhla Collins and Sholto Kynoch in a programme focused on the Art Song as a part of the NOS.

She has also participated in Lied festivals such as as “Hidalgo Street Art Festival 2022” and was finalist on competitions as “II Certamen Internacional de Lied y Canción” in Spain in 2018, and “Galantes Talanti” in Latvia in 2022; as well as being awarded by the 3rd prize on the International Music Competition in France in 2022.
