Hello! I am a professional opera singer, soprano, and current soloist at the Cologne Opera (Germany) bringing real-stage experience, performance psychology, and high-level technical discipline into every lesson. My background includes a Master of Music in Opera (Distinction) from the Dutch National Opera Academy in Amsterdam, a Master of Music in Vocal Performance (Distinction) from the Royal College of Music in London, and a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Pedagogy from the Moscow University of the Humanities. The combination of elite performance training and 8 years of teaching experience allow me to train my students at the highest standard and achieve measurable progress and great results.
I work with dedicated singers at every stage of development, from complete beginners to professionals. I can successfully prepare you for auditions and exams, build a reliable vocal technique and stamina, expand range and develop musicality and understanding of various repertoire demands. Together we can work on diverse repertoire - from opera and oratorio arias to Lieder and music theater depending on your needs and preferences.
If you’re serious about developing your voice with professional-level guidance - I am very excited to see you in my class!

My daughter really enjoyed Maria's vocal lesson. She is very technical and that made my daughter happy because she knew that she would benefit from all of Maria's experience. To quote my daughter, "She was amazing!" My daughter is excited for more lessons!
Maria is a very professional teacher with a great skills and deep knowledge, it's my pleasure to find such a great specialist as Maria and a previlage to be her student.
Maria comes super well prepared, with an energy that is encouraging, inspiring and generous. In just two sessions, I’ve been able to progress beyond my expectations. Looking forward to continue learning and singing with Maria !
Maria is an awsome teacher with a great singing technique and a gorgeous voice! I highly recomend her. After only 1 lesson, I could see a big progress in my voice. She is very well prepared for the lesson, kind, charming with great energy. She is very enthusiastic and passionate about singing and teaching.
Super teacher
