Tetiana Zhuravel is a Ukrainian coloratura soprano, born in Kyiv, whose bright stage presence and virtuosic technique have led her to major European opera houses. She graduated from the National Music Academy of Ukraine and continued her artistic training at the Opera Studio in Kyiv, where she quickly distinguished herself in roles such as Marfa (The Tsar’s Bride), Gilda (Rigoletto), Adele (Die Fledermaus) and Rosina (Il barbiere di Siviglia).
Her international career began in 2017 with a highly successful debut at the Hungarian State Opera in Budapest as the Queen of the Night (Die Zauberflöte), which has quickly become her signature role. In the same season, again in Budapest, she sang Maria Sierva in Eötvös’ Love and Other Demons and Violetta in La traviata alongside Leo Nucci. That year also saw her as Belinda in Dido and Aeneas in Kyiv and as a soloist in Ligeti’s Requiem in Brussels with the Belgian National Orchestra.
In 2018 she appeared in Don Giovanni at the Tulchyn Opera Festival in Ukraine, performed the Queen of the Night in the Italian version of Die Zauberflöte at the Macerata Opera Festival, and later sang the role at the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía in Valencia in a production of Die Zauberflöte directed by Graham Vick and conducted by Lothar Koenigs.
During the 2019 season she returned to Budapest as Violetta in La traviata, made her debut as Donna Anna in Don Giovanni in Cagliari, and performed the Queen of the Night both in Budapest and with the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm. Engagements at Teatro San Carlo in Naples in Die Zauberflöte (2020) and at the Opéra de Metz in Le nozze di Figaro (2021) were cancelled due to the pandemic.
In 2022 she appeared in Bologna in Ariadne auf Naxos and performed Die Zauberflöte in Budapest, Mannheim and Stockholm. In the 2023/24 season she sang Susanna in Le nozze di Figaro in Bologna, Olympia in Les contes d’Hoffmann and The Girl in Sleepless by Eötvös in Graz, and appeared as a soloist in Carmina Burana in Trieste.
Her 2024/25 season includes Die Zauberflöte with the Opéra de Nice and Deutsche Oper am Rhein in Düsseldorf, Olympia (Les contes d’Hoffmann, cover) at the Royal Opera House in London, and Cunegonde in Candide in Trieste and Bologna. The 2025/26 season features Die Zauberflöte in Cologne, Budapest and Stockholm, Olympia in Les contes d’Hoffmann in Graz, and a tour in Japan as the Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte with the Hungarian State Opera of Budapest.
