| | Morigi Gabriella | | soprano |   
She was born in Turin, where she completed her education.
She made her debut in Rossini’s "La Gazzetta" and despite her young age, she showed a natural vocal and stylistic bent for the "Belcanto" repertoire.
In the first ten years of her career, being very young, she devoted herself to Baroque repertoire, taking part also to several recordings of pieces dated back to the early 19th century; in this period she performed in some of the most prestigious theatres and in Italian and foreign Festivals.
After her debut in Rossini’s "La Gazzetta", she also performed Rossini’s "Il Barbiere di Siviglia", "Elisabetta Regina di Inghilterra" and the profane cantata "Argena e Melania"; Donizetti’s "Lucia di Lammermoor", "Don Pasquale", "Elisir d’amore" and "Gianni di Parigi. Vivaldi’s "Il Farnace", "La Griselda" and several motets and other important performances.
She also performed Piccinni’s "La Cecchina", Gluck’s "Iphigenie in Aulide", Martin y Soler’s "Una Cosa Rara", Cimarosa’s "Il Fanatico Burlato", Haydn’s "L’Isola Disabitata", Purcell’s "Dido and Aeneas".

As regards the contemporary repertoire she has taken part as leading actress to the first night of "Hanjo", music by Marcello Panni, directed by Bob Wilson, to "Maggio Musicale Fiorentino" Festival and to "Opera of Lille".
During these years Gabriella Morigi has developed a big store of technical and stylistic knowledge.
After two years of pause during which she delivered and took care of her son, she realized it was the right time to devote herself to the "Soprano drammatico di Agilità" repertoire that she has been performing successfully and with enthusiasm from 6 years.
She begun with Verdi’s "I Lombardi alla Prima Crociata"in St Gallen and at the "Tonhalle" in Zürich, and she went on with Roberto Devereux playing the superb role of Elisabeth the First. She was also very successful playing the role of Odabella in Verdi’s "Attila" that allowed her to perform in Karlsruhe and in "Maggio Musicale Fiorentino".
She has also performed other operas of Verdi’s first period like "L’Ernani" in Karlsruhe and "Nabucco" in Rotterdam, Klagenfurt, Gelsenkirchen, Split-Croatia, , Cyprus (Nicosia and Lemesos).
