Laura Engel, the Dutch-Chilean soprano, captures any audience with her charisma and passion.

Internationally educated, among them Chile, the Netherlands and Italy, she has enjoyed a diverse musical education. After studying with Carmen Luisa Letelier (Universidad de Chile, Chile), she continued her studies at Axel Everaert (Maastricht, the Netherlands), where she receives her Bachelor of Music in 2006.

Just graduated she starts working for Andre Rieu. She joined him on his world tours and stood along side him on various international venues, both as a soloist and a member of the choir. As a soloist she performed the song ‘Besame Mucho’ in countries like the United States, Japan and Europe. In France the song was recorded and came out on the CD:’A Toi’.

In 2010 she decides to continue her professional development as opera singer and in 2012 she receives her 'Master of Music' at Fontys in Tilburg, the Netherlands. Throughout the Master she receives expert guidance from Edward Hoepelman, Wilma Bierens and Marc Krone and she is able to increasingly shape herself musically and dramatically. She also however, develops a clear vision on how she wants to deliver Classical music, opera and operetta to her audiences. She graduates with her own production of ‘Pasquaal, a soapy opera’, which got nominated for the ‘Entreeprijs’ of 2012 in ‘s Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands.

Accompanied by her maestro C. C. Caruso she is working on her ultimate goal to shine in a world-renowned opera house. She attended master classes with Harry Peeters, Nelly Miricioiu, Frans Fiselier and Sigrid van der Linden.

She is also passionately developing some of her own projects, like her ‘soapy opera’. Intrinsically, Laura aims to bring classical music to her audiences in different ways and through known and lesser-known pieces of classical music.

Because enabling unforgettable moments through music is her passion, she performs with great pleasure and passion at weddings, parties and is heard in concerts regularly.
