Lira Mila

Soprano

Lira Mila began her artistic journey in Albania before settling in France, where she has been residing for many years. She graduated from the Academy of Arts in Tirana (Albania) in 2009 and immediately embarked on her operatic career at the Tirana Opera House. She performed key roles such as Eurydice (Orpheus and Eurydice by C.W. Gluck), the Countess (The Marriage of Figaro by W.A. Mozart), and Suor Angelica (Suor Angelica by G. Puccini). Between 2011 and 2013, she also portrayed the Countess in Rigoletto (G. Verdi), Flora in La Traviata (G. Verdi), and Giulietta in I Capuleti e i Montecchi (V. Bellini).

Driven by artistic excellence and a pursuit of perfection, Lira Mila continued her studies in France at the École Normale de Musique de Paris – Alfred Cortot. There, she earned several prestigious distinctions: a Diplôme d’exécution in 2014, a Diplôme supérieur d’exécution (awarded unanimously by the jury) in 2015, and a Diplôme supérieur de concertiste(awarded unanimously with honors) in 2016. She further enriched her artistic development through masterclasses, including sessions with the renowned soprano Raina Kabaivanska in Siena, Italy.

Now firmly established in the French musical landscape, Lira Mila continues to expand her repertoire, specializing in heroines suited to her coloratura soprano voice. Some of her most notable roles include Electra (Idomeneo by W.A. Mozart), Lucia (Lucia di Lammermoor by G. Donizetti), Violetta (La Traviata by G. Verdi), Micaëla (Carmen by G. Bizet), Mimì (La Bohème by G. Puccini), and Elvira (I Puritani by V. Bellini).
