Operalia Laureates Juliana Grigoryan ‘2022 and Sun-Ly Pierce ‘2024 are featured on Elle Magazine’s “Beyond Rosalía: 6 Artists Powering Classical Music’s Comeback”
“Armenian opera singer Juliana Grigoryan has hit all of the major stages at only 27 years old. The soprano has performed at Teatro alla Scala, the Metropolitan Opera, the Dutch National Opera, Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, Teatro Massimo di Palermo, and more. In 2022, she placed first at Plácido Domingo’s famed Operalia Competition, adding yet another accolade to her already impressive résumé, and in 2024, she received the highly coveted Hilde Behrens Prize. Grigoryan has also joined Andrea Bocelli onstage. For the 2025–2026 season, she’s starring as Mimì in La Bohème, and she’ll reprise her Metropolitan Opera debut role as Liu in Turandot.”
“In the Metropolitan Opera’s recent production of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, Sun-Ly Pierce, 31, cemented herself as a true force in the opera world. The Chinese American mezzo-soprano grew up in Clinton, New York, and attended the Eastman School of Music and Bard College Conservatory of Music. She made her Met Opera debut in 2023 in La Rondine. This coming year, she will grace the stage at the Los Angeles Opera, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, and more.”
