Olga Peretyatko, one of the world’s most sought-after sopranos, made her international break-through after winning Plácido Domingo’s prestigious Operalia Competition. Since then, she has been a regular guest at the world’s most important opera houses and concert halls.
In the 2023/24 season, Olga Peretyatko makes her role debut as Norma at the Staatsoper Hamburg. She also reprises one of her signature roles, Fiorilla in Rossini’s Il turco in Italia at the Opernhaus Zürich and returns to the Staatsoper Berlin to sing Elettra in Mozart's Idomeneo and Leila in Bizet’s Les pêcheurs de perles. In Italy, she sings Magda de Civry in a new production of La rondine at the Teatro Regio Torino and Donna Anna in a new production of Don Giovanni at the Teatro Comunale di Bologna.

Additionally, the soprano gives several recitals around the world such as a recital with the tenor Marius Vlad Budoiu at the George Enescu Festival in Bucharest, a piano recital with Leon Gurvitch at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, and a recital at the Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid, where – joined by the pianist Semjon Skigin - she presents works by Clara Schumann and Pauline Viardot.
