The great success obtained in Don Giovanni/Donna Anna (in Valencia), Le nozze di Figaro/Susanna (Opéra de Marseille, Stadttheater Bern), Die Zauberflöte/Pamina (Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona), Il buon marito (Schwetzingen Festival), Orfeo ed Euridice (Edinburgh Festival), as well as her much acclaimed performance at the Palau de les Arts Valencia opening concert, are good warrant to the soundness of Isabel Monar’s brilliant career.

Pupil of Ana Luisa Chova, she graduated with honours (she was granted the prize Premio Extraordinario Fin de Carrera), and made her debut at the Teatre Principal in Valencia, her hometown. Devoted both to opera and concert, highlights have been the roles performed in Turandot (Valencia); José de Nebra’s Iphigenia en Tracia (New York and Boston); Fidelio (Nancy, Santiago and Barcelona); La púrpura de la rosa/The blood of the rose, libretto by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, music by Tomás de Torrejón y Velasco (Geneva, Madrid and México DF); Così fan tutte (Lausanne, Madrid, La Coruña and Padova); Arabella, with the Opera North (Leeds); L’elisir d’amore and Idomeneo (Bern); in the Neujahr-Konzert with the Hamburger Symphoniker and M. A. Gómez-Martínez, or in concerts such as those by J. Rodrigo, in Chicago, and Il barbiere di Siviglia, in the Peralada Festival.

She has also been widely acclaimed for her interpretations in Purcell’s Dido and Eneas (Marseille) and in Mozart’s Il re pastore, Il sogno di Scipione (Vienna) and in the unfinished opera Zaide (Gmunden Festival, Düsseldorf and at the renowned Concertgebouw Amsterdam). Of the latest, a super audio CD has been recorded.

Recently, she has sung the main role in Haendel’s Radamisto with the Wiener Akademie orchestra and she sang the same main role in Los Angeles.

Among other recordings of her discography, stand out the performances in the monographic albums of the works by Frederic Mompou, Eduard Toldrà and Vicent Asencio.

Very recent and future engagements include a recital at Palau de les Arts in Valencia, Mahler 8th with Orquesta Nacional de Madrid/OCNE under Maestro Josep Pons, “Marzelline” by Beethoven´s Leonore  at Teatro Real in Madrid under Maestro Ivor Bolton and concerts with Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona under Christian Zacharias.
