“Inna Demenkova first. What a phenomenal singer she is. A beautiful even, darkly timbered, but crystal clear soprano voice, which technically can completely transform her entire pallet of colors, dynamic range and expression into singing that moves. Every scene with her was impressive” - Opera Magazine
In the 2024/25 season, Inna made her debuts at Glyndebourne Festival debut as Fiorilla Il turco in Italia, as the soprano soloist in Verdi’s Messa da Requiem with the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra under Lorenzo Viotti, as Susanna Le nozze di Figaro at Palm Beach Opera, and returned to Dutch National Opera as Ksenia in Kirill Serebrennikov’s new production of Boris Godunov.
Other career highlights include Lauretta and Suor Genovieffa in Barrie Kosky’s Il trittico at Dutch National Opera, Berenice L’occasione fa il ladro at Theater an der Wien, and Juliette in Roméo et Juliette at Bühnen Bern. A graduate of the Dutch National Opera Studio in Amsterdam, Inna appeared in house productions as Frasquita Carmen, 1st Nymph Rusalka, Zweite Zofe Der Zwerg, Annina La traviata, and Belinda Dido and Aeneas, as well as in contemporary and baroque projects including Denis & Katya and Opera in Paradiso: Kings and Queens, a collaboration between Christof Loy and the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra.
Inna Demenkova is the 3rd Prize winner of both the José Carreras Grand Prix Vocal Competition and The Queen Sonja International Music Competition, affirming her position as one of the promising lyric sopranos of her generation.
