Although she had already toured France since 2014 singing Contessa and Donna Anna, 2016 was a turning point in Berna Perles‘ career. She won first prizes at the Sevilla and Granada competitions. Since then the soprano from Málaga has developed a career with continuous activity in which her recent debuts as Norma in Oviedo and Pisa, and this season in Maestranza, as Manon Lescaut in Pamplona, and this year in the Teatro Cervantes in Malaga, Micaela in Carmen (debut in Jerez and forthcoming performances in Pamplona) or her participation in Sorozábal’s Entre Sevilla y Triana at the Teatro de la Zarzuela with García Calvo, stand out, and in which the continued collaboration with conductors such as Giancarlo Andretta, Manuel Hernández Silva or Andrea Marcon, who trust her in roles including Fiordigligi, Gutrune in Götterdämmerung, or Leonora in Fidelio, plays an important role.
She recently made her debut at the Gran Teatre del Liceu (Barcelona), to which she returned in 2022 in two productions (Die Zauberflöte with Gustavo Dudamel and Puccini’s Il Trittico with Susanna Mälkki) and at the Teatro Real, in whose season she participated in the Spanish premiere of Rufus Wainwright’s Hadrian, with which she also visited the Festival de Peralada for the first time. She has also sung at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Roma, and Opéra Royal de Versailles, and has been conducted by conductors such as Armiliato, Axelrod, Balsadonna, Diakun, Gustavo Gimeno, González, Hirokami, Pablo Pérez, or Zapico. At the same time, she has developed an intense activity with orchestras such as ORTVE, Ciudad de Granada, Filarmónica de Málaga, de la Comunidad de Madrid, or Sinfónica de Navarra, among others.
