Meet Bella Popera
Performing in exclusive venues across the UK, and with their exponentially growing online presence, the acclaimed pop opera group Bella Popera consists of three young sopranos who are a crossover sensation. They sing classical. They belt rock. 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 classy classical arias such as Carmen’s Habanera and Delibes’s Flower Duet with style and flair. Only to effortlessly enter into the world of pop and rock, of Boogie Woogie or Motown – and much more besides. Versatility is their watchword. Belting Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus – but with a classical twist. Singing Havana by Camila Cabello – but with innovative operatic harmonies.
The Bellas are girls with a goal: to build musical bridges between contrasting genres and in so doing give unexpected interpretations to your favorite songs. The trio is also rightly proud of its linguistic diversity being equally at ease performing in English, Spanish, French and Italian.
Bella Popera are continuously building on their already exciting repertoire, determined to interact with audiences throughout their performance, and love nothing more than opera’rocking you off of your seat. No matter where in the world that might be!
