    The performance can take place as a single musical moment or be divided into several shorter performances. During a wedding dinner, for example, the performances can be scheduled between courses so that they fit naturally into the programme of the evening. Anna can perform with piano or other musical ensembles, or with backing tracks, depending on the venue and the atmosphere chosen for the wedding.

    The repertoire can range from opera arias to Italian and international classics, as well as other pieces suited to the occasion. Anna suggests a selection based on the moment of the wedding and the atmosphere, and the couple can choose the pieces they prefer.

    Yes. Anna can take care of arranging live instrumental accompaniment for the wedding, selecting the musicians and ensemble best suited to the repertoire and to the particular moment of the ceremony or reception.

    The technical requirements depend on the venue, the number of guests and the musical accompaniment. In church, amplification is normally not necessary. For a symbolic ceremony, particularly if it takes place outdoors or there are many guests, amplification may be useful. During the wedding reception or dinner, the need for amplification is assessed according to the space and the number of guests. When a sound system is required, the technical equipment is provided by the venue, the event organiser or directly by the client, based on the specifications provided by Anna. A soundcheck or rehearsal is normally scheduled before the performance.

    During a symbolic ceremony, Anna can sing with piano accompaniment, with piano and violin, with other musical ensembles suited to the occasion or, when the context allows, with backing tracks. The choice of accompaniment depends on the venue and the atmosphere the couple would like to create.

    For a religious ceremony, Anna normally sings with organ accompaniment. If the church already has an organist, it is important to have their contact details in advance to coordinate the repertoire and rehearsal. If no organist is provided, Anna can arrange for an organist with whom she has worked for many years. Violin can also be added to the organ accompaniment.

    During a religious ceremony, Anna can sing at the offertory, communion and signing, or during the final part of the ceremony. The organ often accompanies the entrance and exit of the couple, as well as other moments of the celebration.

    For a church ceremony, Anna offers a selection of pieces suited to the different moments of the celebration, including Panis Angelicus, Dolce sentire and several versions of Ave Maria, such as those by Schubert, Caccini, Bach-Gounod and William Gomez, as well as other well-known and less familiar pieces. The repertoire is agreed with the couple and must always be approved by the priest.

    Yes. It can be a surprise from one partner to the other or a special moment organised for the couple. Singing can also accompany a marriage proposal, becoming part of the surprise. In Venice, for example, a musical surprise can be arranged during a gondola ride, with the performance taking place at a point along the route. In some cases, especially for a short and intimate moment, an a cappella performance is also possible.

    It is advisable to contact Anna in advance to book the desired date and allow enough time to organise the performance properly. For more last-minute requests, it is still possible to check availability.

    A voice, a genuine emotion, a lasting memory.
