Maria MIRÓ  Soprano
 
  BIOGRAPHY  

 

With an extraordinary lyric soprano voice and a strong stage personality, Maria Miró has just again succeeded at the Teatro Real as ANA OZORES, title role of La Regenta by M. Machado. The press witnessed:

“Ana Ozores, brilliantly played by María Miró, is alone on her stage, the space belongs to her and only she fills it. The nudity on stage is such that there are countless times in the dramatic action when the character is dressed and undressed in all sorts of costumes. But Maria Miro is assisted only by her wonderful voice to bring this complex woman to life. It is amazing how the script has managed to minimise and condense the complex character of the novel and reduce it to a torrent of contained emotions and not to a woman who exudes strength, passion and is herself a real and true fact. The Spanish soprano's work is brilliant."

Maria’s voice is regularly sought after at the Madrid Opera, as well as at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, Palau de les Arts de Valencia, La Maestranza, Opera de Tenerife, Opéra de Avignon or Oviedo, appearing with a wide repertoire which goes from Mozart’s CONTESSA ALMAVIVA, FIORDILIGI, DONNA ANNA to Puccini LIU, MIMI, Verdi’s NANETTA, Britten or Wagner roles.

Maria sang MIMI at the Festival of Salisbury and portrayed NORMA at the Teatro Massimo of Palermo. In 2013 she made hervery successful debut at the Teatro Real Madrid as MARIANA in Wagner’s Liebesverbot. Whereupon the soprano was immediately reengaged in Madrid as PENELOPE in Britten’s Gloriana, where she achieved an equal triumph:

Opera de Tenerife – Fuenteovejuna - LAURENCIA
The solo singers were also very adequate, both vocally and dramatically, with Maria Miró‘s stellar performance as Laurencia standing out. A soprano of great dramatic vein, with power and vocal mastery, she managed to exemplarily reflect the vicissitudes of the character.
bachtrack

The soprano María Miró offered an excellent performance of Laurencia, a character who, bloodied and inflamed by anger at being raped, confronts her countrymen, reproaches them and demands revenge. This is the core of the work: without this convincing scene, the story would not make sense.
Ópera Actual

Teatro Real Madrid Götterdämmerung – WELLGUNDE
The last act was the best and as for Heras-Casado’s direction, with a scene of the Rheinmaidens (magnificent the three singers) of appropiate and accomplished lyrism (…) A wonderful trio of Rheinmaidens stood out, formed by Elisabeth Bailey, María Miró and Marina Pinchuk, who showed an spotless blend, correct emission and good singing concept, as well as an impeccable stage performance.

Teatro Real/ Teatro Espanol – Transíto – CRUZ
Starting with the Cruz of María Miró, mater dolorosa, strong in appearance, even harsh, but who carries within her the suffering of the abandoned, while being the one who must, moreover, watch over her son. The powerful voice with full-bodied timbre perfectly embraces the whole range of feelings, while the actress is impressively accurate.
Toute la culture (09.06.21), Paul Fourier
>María Miró, unpolluted in black in her eternal widowhood, has to endow her character with pain and dignity and it seemed to me the most appropriate voice of the night: strong, without fuss, endowing the role with the necessary dignity. Very well.
Platea Magazine (01.06.21), Enrique Bert
María Miró supported by her creamy and attractive soprano timbre – the highest quality voice of the five singers (…) – composed a suffering Cross, which is torn between suffering, jealousy and reproaches towards a husband, who still loves...
Cadalario (01-06.21), Raúl Chamorro
María Miró shows the highest dramatic side of the action with excellent vocal resources and a very measured histrionic dimension.
Scherzo (31.05.21), Santiago Martín Bermúdez
(…) As for the soprano María Miró, in the role of Cruz, she creates a splendid vocal figure from a backpack of pain and endurance.
El País (30.05.21), Jorge Fernández Guerra
The cast is homogeneous and convincing in its two facets, vocal and acting, and in both we believe that the Cruz of María Miró stands out.
Periodista digital (30.05.21), José Catalán Deus
