Raphaella Medina is a New York City-based mezzo-soprano. Lauded as “grace personified” (The Royal Gazette) and praised for her ability to “exquisitely set the scene” (Orlando Sentinel), Medina continues to charm audiences with her “vibrant voice and ability to entrance” (Villages Daily Sun).

“Medina impressed audiences with her vibrant voice and ability to entrance, like with her performance of mischievous characters in “Habanera” from Carmen and “Una voce poco fa” from Il barbiere di Siviglia.”
