Ms Idara Aguinaga discovered her gift for music at a very young age. Violin, music teaching, and solo performing were all part of her early life. As with all true musically blessed individuals, every form of music expression was of great interest to her. And in 2013, with her voice now fully matured, she diligently began exploring the art of singing as an operatic soprano.

After years of intense self-training and with great personal discipline, it became indisputably obvious... she possessed the gift of a true coloratura soprano. Coupled with rare operatic power, phenomenal endurance and an impressive tessitura, Ms Aguinaga brilliantly exudes with mature sensitivity and emotion the sincere passion required for the masterpieces she now sings and loves. She literally lives out every song (with her voice in character and being) in all her performances.

Technique & Repertoire: Precise diction in any language and true musicality radiates in her every performance. Yet, her voice is deep, rich and full... and amazingly enters the higher register with ease and agility. Leaps, runs, jumps and trills all seem effortless. Her exceptional abilities are openly demonstrated by performing some of the most difficult and moving arias in the coloratura world. She has enthusiastically built a full repertoire of over 40 classic arias in her first 6 months of singing. Including: Queen of the Night Aria, Fruhlingsstimmen, The Bell Song, Ah Non Giunge, and The Mad Scene from Lucia Di Lammermoor to name only a few. Just as impressive is her sensitivity in dramatic arias such as Pace, Pace Mio Dio, Oh Quante Volte, Con Onor Muore, Vissi d'Arte and many more. Her repertoire of Sacred songs includes such rare gems as Rejoice Greatly O Daughter of Zion, The Holy City, and Let The Bright Seraphim. There seems to be no limit to her ability to master even the most difficult vocal challenges.

Languages: Being completely self-taught as a coloratura soprano with no formal voice training, she has enjoyed the artistic freedom that comes from naturally discovering her God given talent and artistically sharing it with all who desire to hear the most beautiful classic arias the world has ever known. Presently she sings in 11 languages. Including: English, Spanish, Latin, French, Italian, German, Czech, Russian, Chinese and even Hebrew.

Mission: Ms Aguinaga continues to seek out new performing opportunities world-wide and is very passionate about not only singing as a coloratura soprano, but continuing her life long goal of helping revive the cultural interest in all classical music globally.
