Arianna Zukerman (born 1972) is an American lyric soprano who has performed with some of the world's finest orchestras and opera companies. Her voice was described in the Washington Post as "remarkable" combining the "range, warmth and facility of a Rossini mezzo with shimmering, round high notes and exquisite pianissimos."〔(PERFORMING ARTS - washingtonpost.com )〕 ==Early life and education== Zukerman was born on December 7, 1972. Her father Pinchas Zukerman is a noted violinist and conductor and her mother Eugenia Zukerman is a flautist, writer, and correspondent for the arts on the television program, ''CBS Sunday Morning''. Zukerman has one younger sibling, Natalia Zukerman, who is a noted singer and songwriter.〔(Arianna Zukerman, Peter Sekulow—New York Times )〕 Zukerman initially studied theatre at Brown University but then transferred to the Juilliard School where she earned a Bachelor of Music in vocal studies. During this time, Zukerman also studied at the Chautauqua Institution's summer opera training program with Marlena Malas from 1993–1997. While in this program she performed the roles of Ginerva in Handel's ''Ariodante'' in 1996 and the title role in Handel's ''Alcina'' in 1997 under the direction of Chas Rader-Schieber. In 1997, Zukerman made her professional opera debut with the Berkshire Opera Company as Barbarina in Mozart's ''Le nozze di Figaro''. She returned to Berkshire the following year to perform and record the role of Anna Gomez in Gian Carlo Menotti's ''The Consul''. This was the first complete recording made of that opera. In the Spring of 1999, she made her debut with Opera Illinois as Susanna in Mozart's ''Le nozze di Figaro''. In March 1999 Zukerman entered the Bavarian State Opera's Young Artist program where she stayed for one year.
