“Singing is an Alchemical way of transformation for oneself and for others”: Mezzosoprano explains it to us Elena Brescianian eclectic artist of international fame.
Just finished the artistic commitment that saw her in the Commission at the final of the VI Edition of “GB Rubini International Opera Singing Competition”the Mezzosoprano Elena Bresciani is confirmed as one of the best vocal preparers on the national scene.
Expert in female voices who follows throughout Italy, in addition to fame as an opera singer that has led her to sing all over the world, from the Vatican to Carnegie Hall in New York, Elena Bresciani is a graduate in Literature at the State University of Milan , in Artistic Singing at the Donizetti Conservatory of Bergamo, in Voice Performance at the Trinity College of Music in London and she also specialized in Theatrical Education at the Catholic University of Milan and in Spiritual Theology at the Theological Faculty of Milan.
After 33 years of studying the singing technique and 23 years of teaching with over 400 case studies in opera, jazz, pop and musical, the artist gave life to the Elena Bresciani Vocal Method to blend the best of the technique European and American with particular attention to breathing and improvising techniques, to SOVTE, to register and mechanism passages and to the expansion of the harmonic and timbral-vocal characteristics of each voice.
“I was a shy child, singing gave me happiness and made me feel free, this is where my whole story began – said the artist. By working hard and with a lot of willpower, my artistic life has become exactly what I had dreamed of as a child: from theaters, to the radio, to the jury in prestigious international competitions. Everything becomes possible if you really want to and work hard every day to achieve your goals.
At a certain point in my path, I realized that a plant cannot grow only in height, so I became a reference vocal trainer in opera, pop, jazz and musical, studying incessantly and giving all this to other artists. that life had given me. My pupils are wonderful branches, leaves, fruits and flowers that take sap from the roots of my tree and then soar on their own.
I have always looked for God in Art and my thoughts always go to eternity, which is why intertwining spiritual studies with my discipline was a natural consequence of my path.
In my idea of Singing, the Voice is a Diamond that must be sculpted every day, the Artist’s task is to make himself as pure as this diamond and mirror the audience, purging their emotions and leading the listener to rise. The path of the voice, like that of the soul, must go towards purity, expansion, simplification. Chant is an elevated discipline that speaks on several levels and helps to expand consciousness, an Alchemical way of transformation for oneself and for others. For this reason, a work of introspection and activation that goes in depth and expansion is necessary. By working one’s own material part, thoughts and spiritual part, the Voice progressively changes and the Light pervades it, this progressively makes the Artist better and the Person better. The Mentor who has already passed through all the phases of his career, can accompany the Artist in this Journey of discovery of his own Voice and of his purest and most profound nature, this is the work I do with the Artists I follow. I am a soul on a journey, who through singing helps other souls on their journey ”.
