Noelia Ibáñez Mezzosoprano

Mezzo-soprano Noelia Ibáñez combines her career in opera with intense activity in the field of recitals and chamber music. Her particular interest lies in defending and promoting the repertoire of her native country, working with Josu Okiñena to integrate and promote the works of internationally renowned Basque composers such as Aita Donostia, Félix Lavilla and Pascual Aldave, and Spanish composers such as Manuel de Falla. As a result of this work, and in collaboration with OE Oficina, she has recorded repertoire for voice and piano by Aita Donostia, Pascual Aldave and Félix Lavilla.

This repertoire, which she performs regularly, shapes her style and musical personality. It has led her to perform in several Spanish cities through numerous festivals and concert series such as the Ciclo Capuchinos, the Festival Aita Donostia, the Ciclo Batura and the Ciclo de Conciertos Clásicos de Arrecife, consolidating her presence on the national chamber music scene.

Noelia Ibáñez has built a solid career on the opera stage, having made her debut in major roles in European theatres. Her debut at the Nice Côte d'Azur Opera House took place in 2022 with the role of Gaia in the production Babel. Since then, she has played key characters such as Carmen at the Musica Nigella Festival (2023), a role she will reprise in 2026 in Paris and Rennes, and Mercedes from the same opera in Strasbourg (2024).

Her versatility has led her to participate in the French premiere of Laurent Petitgirard's opera Guru (2024) and to play the roles of Suzy and Lolette in Puccini's La Rondine (2024) and Beppe in L'amico Fritz (2025). Trained at prestigious institutions such as the Haute École de Musique de Genève and the École Normale de Musique de Paris, and a prize-winner at international competitions, Noelia has perfected her art with great figures such as Teresa Berganza and Vladimir Chernov.
