Margarita de Arellano
" … at first glance, some people may say that I am superficial; but in reality, my
dynamic soul is sometimes too much for my small framed body. I am dynamic
and full of life: I quess it has to do with being an artist! I am an American with
Latina roots and believe me; judging from my hair, I do have that Spanish,
Indigenious and maybe African background that means Latina!

After my formal studies at the University of Miami and The Juilliard School in
New York graduating with a Master's Degree in Music, I followed through with
some contacts I had met along the way and pursued my goal to move over to
Europe.
One of those contacts was musician Diego Monjo from Spain who introduced
me to a festival in the Island of Menorca at the Baroque styled Teatre Principal
de Maó where I sang Gilda in Rigoletto opposite Baritone Leo Nucci and
Bass/Baritone Juan Pons."
Margarita De Arellano has worked with great conductors like Zubin Mehta, Kurt
Sanderling, Sir Georg Solti, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Semion Bychkov, Guiseppe
Sinopoli, Marcello Viotti and with stage directors like Jean-Pierre Ponnelle,
Harry Kupfer, David Alden, Peter Sellars, Helmut Lohner and Peter Stein.
