Luba Orgonasova

Luba Orgonasova (born January 22, 1961) is a Slovak operatic soprano, particularly associated with Mozart roles.

Born in Bratislava, Slovakia, where she studied voice and piano at the Music Conservatory and Music Academy, and sang as a soloist at the Slovak National Theatre. She moved to Germany in 1983 and became a member of the Hagen Opera House, where she remained until 1988.

The outstanding quality of her voice was quickly recognised and she was soon engaged in operas and concerts all over Europe. She made her debut at the Vienna State Opera in 1988, singing Donna Anna and Pamina, roles she repeated at the festivals of Aix-en-Provence and Salzburg. She sang Konstanze for her debut at the Opéra de Paris, a role she also recorded to great acclaim with John Eliot Gardiner. Her debut role at the Royal Opera House in London, was Aspasia. Other notable Mozart roles include; Giunia, Fiordiligi, Ilia. She also won considerable acclaim in George Frideric Handel's operas such as; "Alcina" and "Rinaldo".

Her wide repertory also embraced; Marzelline, Agathe, Amina, Lucia, Luisa, Gilda, Violetta, Mimi, Liù, Marguerite, Micaela, Antonia, etc., in all of which one can appreciate the pearly sheen of her voice and the brilliance of her coloratura technique.

Orgonasova can be heard in several recordings, notably and early recital "Favorite Soprano Arias", a complete "La bohème" and "La sonnambula", all with Naxos Records.
