IMG Artists is delighted to welcome soprano Izabela Matula to its roster for general management.
Ms Matula was born in Poland, where she graduated in voice and acting from the Kraków Academy of Music. She also studied music theory, composition and conducting.

She also specialises in German and Slavic repertoire, including Wagner’s Lohengrin, Tchaikovsky’s Mazeppa and Eugene Onegin, Janacek’s Katia Kabanova, Smetana’s Dalibor and Weinberger’s Švanda Dudak. Her repertoire also includes parts in operas such as Paul Hindemith’s Cardillac, Henryk Jarecki’s Barbara Radziwiłłówna, Menotti’s Consul, Strauss’s Salome, Britten’s Peter Grimes and Offenbach’s Tales of Hoffmann.
