Meet Bella Popera
Performing internationally and at exclusive venues across the UK, the acclaimed pop opera group Bella Popera consists of three young sopranos who are a crossover sensation. They wow audiences with their breathtaking set of operatic arias, chart- topping medleys and modern covers. Having seen them perform in London, celebrity investor Deborah Meadon had little doubt that their original three-part harmonies of chart-topping hits were heavenly indeed – “Voices of Angels”.
Crossover is the name of their game. Meaning that Bella Popera deliver innovative harmonies of classical arias such as Carmen’s Habanera and Delibes’s Flower Duet with style and flair. Whilst also taking hits like Can’t Help Falling In Love and Havana in new and exciting directions.
The Bellas are girls with a goal: to build musical bridges between contrasting genres. And in so doing give electrifying interpretations to both favorite classical and popular songs. The trio is also rightly proud of its linguistic diversity - being equally at ease performing in English, Spanish, French and Italian.
Determined to interact and engage with audiences, Bella Popera loves nothing more than demonstrating not only that opera and pop are entirely complimentary to one another - but that it’s also possible to enjoy the very best of both musical worlds.
