Welcome to my home page.   I am a professional opera singer who is very active in the tri-state area.   I created this site to help people enhance their experience of Opera and to share my Italian heritage.   To learn more about my background as a singer, please go to my CD site, Bridges to Italy , on cdbaby.com  You can also see where I'm performing by going to my live performances area of this website.

If you are interested in educational program for children, please look at my opera programs for children, where I present opera and artistic tradition to children as a way of inspiring to express themselves and use the rich tradition that has come before them to enhance their lives.

As an Italian American, opera has always been a major part of my life.  And I’ve loved singing since I was a child growing up in New Jersey.  Here I share some of those experiences and the richness Italian music gave to my life.  I have also created a discussion area for you to share your stories about family, opera and your heritage.  It is through our connection as a community that we can expand our appreciation of those special moments that come from family, heritage and tradition.  Join us!  

Best Wishes,

Annamaria Stefanelli
