Adriana Kučerová
Adriana Kučerová (born 24 February 1976)[1] is a Slovak operatic soprano. When she was 22 years old and almost finished with her university studies, she decided to go into a music career. Frank Kuznik of The Prague Post wrote, "To say that Adriana Kučerová came late to singing would be like saying that Mozart was just another composer".[2] She had originally studied at Matej Bel University, working towards an education degree. Frank Kuznik said that she "chang[ed] her mind literally at the last minute."[2] A teacher at the university's music school recommended that she attend a conservatory in Bratislava.[2] Kučerová attended the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava (VŠMU)[3] and the Conservatoire Supérieur de musique et de danse de Lyon in France.[4] In 2001, she won the European Music Prize for Youth in Hamburg, Germany, and a year later, she was awarded at the International Summer Academy Prague-Vienna-Budapest.[4] In 2005, at the Gabor Belvedere singing competition in Vienna, Austria,[2] she won the first prize and the special audience prize.[4] At the time, Kuznik wrote that, since then, she "has been in demand on stages throughout Europe".[2] Kučerová joined the Slovak National Theatre after finishing her university studies.[4] References
