Biography

Anna Bonitatibus, a native of Basilicata in Italy, made her debut at La Scala Milan in 1999 in Don Giovanni under the baton of Riccardo Muti. Since then her interpretations have included over fifty operatic titles, covering early baroque to bel canto repertoire and collaborating with all the major conductors and directors such as Ivor Bolton, Sir Antonio Pappano, René Jacobs, William Christie, Myung Whung Chung, Franz Welser-Möst, Roberto Abbado, Alain Altinoglu, Marc Minkowski and Teodor Currentzis.

From her first recording, Vivaldi’s La Griselda made in 1992, Anna Bonitatibus distinguished herself through the operas of the baroque period, Neapolitan opera buffa and French repertoire. Thanks to her performances of familiar works by Mozart, Handel and Rossini, she has performed on all Europe’s leading stages and in concert halls worldwide. Her en travesti roles, or “trousers roles”, deserve a special mention and as the embodiment of Cherubino, she has become one of the most acclaimed performers of Mozart.

Among her many award-winning recordings, Anna Bonitatibus received the International Opera Award in 2015 for her disc Semiramide, la Signora regale – a variety of musical gems discovered by herself. In 2016, Bonitatibus took a selection of songs from this album on tour with Prague baroque orchestra Collegium 1704, performing in concert halls in Baden-Baden, Essen and at Wigmore Hall in London, where she returned in 2018, 2021 and 2022 for Italian song recitals.
Her last CD with the Munich Rundfunkorchester, en travesti, which features so-called “trousers roles”, also received great critical acclaim.

Highlights of the past seasons include her debut at the Opéra National de Bordeaux as Dulcinée in Massenet’s Don Quichotte under the baton of Marc Minkowski, Cherubino/Le nozze di Figaro at Gran Teatre del Liceu Barcelona, Cecilio/Lucio Silla at Théâtre de la Monnaie Brussels, Il Destino/La Calisto at Bayerische Staatsoper Munich and Teatro Real de Madrid, Sesto/La Clemenza di Tito in Warsaw and at Opéra Royal de Wallonie Liège, Agrippina and her role debut as Penelope in Monteverdi’s Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria at The Grange Festival, Handel’s Ottone in Moscow, Giunone/Ercole amante at Opéra Comique Paris, as well as the title role of Donizetti’s Enrico di Borgogna in Bergamo, Carmen in Madrid, and Riccardo Broschi’s Merope at the Innsbrucker Festwochen. Most recently, she sang the role of Licida in Pergolesi’s L’Olimpiade at Zürich Opera, Idamante/Idomeneo at the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, and embodied the title role in Agrippina at the Bavarian State Opera as well as Hamburg State Opera with great success.

In the concert field, she was a guest at London’s Wigmore Hall, in Cleveland, Helsinki, Bologna, Pesaro, Parma, Barcelona, Potsdam, and Linz, as well as at the Aids Opera Gala in Bonn, the Al Bustan Festival in Beirut and the Händel Festival in Karlsruhe.

Engagements in the season 2022/23 include concerts in Boston with Rinaldo Alessandrini, European concert tours with Verdi’s Messa da Requiem and as Ruggiero/Alcina with Les Musiciens du Louvre and Marc Minkowski, as well as her return to London’s Wigmore Hall for a recital.

Furthermore, she will perform the title role in Händel’s Xerxes in a new production as well as the role of Matilda in a concert performance of Lotario, both as part of the Halle Händel Festival and under the baton of Attilio Cremonesi.

Anna Bonitatibus is the recipient of the 2023 Händel Prize of the city of Halle, honouring her longstanding interpretations of Händel’s music, as well as her passionate dedication leading to performances also of lesser known works.

Kick-off of the Händelfestspiele Halle

The audience of Halle's Händelfestspiele can look forward to an exciting festival programme! This year's festival will open with the premiere of the opera Serse (Xerxes) on May 26, 2023. The new staging of Händel's furious late work (directing: Louisa Proske) is conducted by Attilio Cremonesi, artistic director of the festival orchestra, and, for the first time, Händel and Baroque expert Anna Bonitatibus can be seen and heard in the title role as King Serse.

Following the premiere performance, Anna will be awarded the
2023 Händel Prize of the city of Halle.

Further performances of Serse: 28.05. sowie 03./11.06.2023

If you would like to experience the two artists together once more, you will have the chance to do so on June 9.
On this evening there will be a single concert performance of the opera Lotario, Attilio Cremonesi again conducting the Festival Orchestra and Anna Bonitatibus singing the role of Matilda.

Händel-Preis Halle 2023!

Anna Bonitatibus receives the 2023 Händel Prize of the city of Halle. The Stiftung Händel-Haus says the decision honours "her infinite enthusiasm, with which she for years has been interpreting Händel's music, as well as her passionate dedication leading to performances also of lesser known works".

The prize will be awarded to Anna during the Händel Festival in 2023, where she is involved in two productions. On one hand she will sing the title role in the festival production Xerxes, on the other the role of Matilda in a concert performance of the opera Lotario. Bravissima Anna!
