Rising Stars: sopraan Camila Mandillo

Rising Stars

In the Rising Stars series, the stars of the future present themselves with personal and distinctively curated programs. The musicians, selected by leading European concert halls, also make a stop in the Kleine Zaal during their star tour of the most prestigious stages. No evening is the same: every dream program is unique and sounds different. Moreover, every Rising Star surprises with a brand-new work. What connects all the musicians is their distinct individual voice and their fresh perspective on the music. The concerts are performed in one continuous arc of tension, without an intermission.

Camila Mandillo

Camila Mandillo is a soprano, but dance and theatre have always held her attention. Physical and vocal expression go hand in hand for this Portuguese artist. Mandillo began her musical career in Lisbon, graduating cum laude from the Hochschule für Musik 'Hanns Eisler' in Berlin, after which she moved to Belgium for a residency at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel. Words such as clarity, intensity, and imagination apply to her performances, whether of Baroque or contemporary works. During her evening as a Rising Star, she brings music from many centuries to life, from Monteverdi to a brand-new work by Bushra El-Turk. Humor, irony, and wit take center stage in her work.
