==Early life==
Gianna Rolandi was born in New York City, and grew up in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Her mother, Jane Frazier, was an American soprano, and met her father, Italian obstetrician-gynecologist Enrico Rolandi, while singing in Italy.〔Duffie, Bruce. ("Conversation Piece: Soprano Gianna Rolandi." (1993) ) ''The Opera Journal''. 1995.〕 Rolandi's father died in a car accident on Long Island when she was three, and the family moved back to the Carolinas, her mother's home.〔("Soprano Gianna Rolandi Shifts into High Gear on Her Road to Becoming the Next Queen of the High C's." ) ''People''. September 14, 1981.〕〔Croan, Robert. ("When It Comes to Singers, PSO Artistic Adviser Needn't Look Far for Artistic Advice: Lady Gianna." ) ''Pittsburgh Post-Gazette''. April 02, 2006.〕 Rolandi's mother taught voice at Converse College in Spartanburg,〔 and later became a staff member of the Brevard Music Center in North Carolina.〔 She remarried in 1959 to John West Coker, chairman of the Music Department at Wofford College in Spartanburg, and a staff member of the Brevard Music Center.〔〔Basse, Craig. (Obituary: John Coker. ) ''St. Petersburg Times''. June 20, 2001. ''See also'': (1959 Brevard Music Festival Program Book ) p. 32; (1968 Brevard Music Festival Program Book ) p. 27; ("Coker Family of Alabama" ) ''Ancestry.com.''〕
Rolandi started out as a violinist, at the age of 6, yet remembers that "when there was nobody home, I'd turn on opera records and sing along with ''Tosca'' and ''Madama Butterfly''."〔 By the late 1960s she was studying violin at the Brevard Music Center, and she attended the North Carolina School of the Arts as a violin major in her senior year of high school. She took her first voice lessons at the Brevard Music Center, and continued a long association with the Center, where many of her coloratura roles were learned and first performed.〔(1975 Brevard Music Festival Program Book. ) p. 31.〕
The soprano then trained for four years at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia.〔〔(Curtis Institute of Music: Performance Chronology 1929 - 2006 )〕 She was a finalist in the Metropolitan Opera auditions in 1974, winning the Minna Kaufmann Ruud Competition as one of the youngest winners in its history.〔 She graduated from the Curtis Institute in 1975.
