Aphrodite Patoulidou
soprano
Born in Thessaloniki, Greece, Aphrodite is one of the most interesting rising stars of today. She is celebrated soprano and an alumna of Barbara Hannigan’s Equilibrium Young Artists Initiative, where she debuted as Anne Trulove (The Rake’s Progress) in 2018. Since then, she has collaborated with renowned orchestras like Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Munich Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and Danish Radio Symphony.
Her operatic repertoire includes Elle (La Voix Humaine), Susanna (Le Nozze di Figaro), and Sophie Scholl (Weisse Rose), with performances at the Staatsoper Berlin, La Monnaie, and Teatro Real Madrid. Recently she debuted with the Cleveland Orchestra and toured with the London Symphony, performing Mahler’s 4th Symphony and Vivier’s Lonely Child. Her virtuosic performance of Britten’s Les Illuminations with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin has been praised by the press. For this performance, Aphrodite created paintings inspired by the ten movements of Britten’s work, which were shared with the audience in printed form.
