What they say about me

From a technical and interpretive standpoint Capucine’s teaching is of the very highest international level, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to either build a professional technical foundation or to polish their craftsmanship, in the Italian repertoire especially.

It was a great pleasure to work with her because she is such a sensible and mature artist as well as a great colleague. She is a dedicated artist with touching sensitivity. She has a wide experience on the opera stage, having performed important title roles of the Italian romantic repertory.

Mrs. Chiaudani proved to be an excellent teacher both with technique and with musical style. The additional aspect of her having Italian as her native language proved to be an invaluable adjunct to her abilities to teach.
