She gave a Mozart recital with Alessandro De Marchi and the Münchner Rundfunkorchester at the Prinzregententheater in Munich.
Arianna made her debut at the Salzburg and Ravenna Festivals as Carmi in Mozart’s Betulia liberata under the baton of Riccardo Muti.
Recognized for her work in the Baroque repertoire, Arianna Vendittelli was seen on stage as Salome in Stradella’s San Giovanni Battista at the Innsbruck Festival with Alessandro De Marchi; Amanzio in Vivaldi’s Giustino conducted by Ottavio Dantone; the Ange in Pergolesi’s Conversione di San Guglielmo duca d’Aquitania with Les Talens Lyriques and Christophe Rousset at the Festival Pergolesi Spontini.
Among her most important past engagements are the title role in Hans Werner Henze’s Gisela! at the Teatro Massimo conducted by Constantin Trinks and Zerlina in Don Giovanni at the Spoleto Festival under the baton of James Conlon.
