The Italian Soprano Fiorenza Cedolins, when she was very young, approached the Opera house in 1988.
In 1993 she made her debut as a protagonist in Cavalleria Rusticana at TEATRO CARLO FELICE DI GENOVA.
With a dark, extended, expressive voice and remarkable interpreting skills, both in the lyricodramatic repertoire of agility and in the verist one, she therefore begins a fruitful and assiduous collaboration with the SPLIT FESTIVAL, as a guest singer. It is in the Dalmatian city that debuts stylistically very different roles, but which allow her to experiment with her vocal and artistic skills. Thus, with uncommon flexibility, she travels the Italian and foreign repertoire, from Mo nteverdi in Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda to Carmina Burana from the Rossini Mosè to Strauss Salome.

In 1996, winn er of the international competition “Luciano Pavarotti Voice Competition”, she had the opportunity to sing in Tosca at OPERA PHILAD ELPHIA alongside the great Tenor.
In the same year he plays the role of Santuzza in Cavalleria Rusticana
at RAVENNA FESTIVAL, conducting MUTI, directed by CAVANI.
In the summer of 1997, she recorded, for KICCO MUSIC, the opera Gloria of Cilea staged at SAN GIMIGNANO FESTIVAL.
In the autumn of the same year, Cavalleria Rusticana is still at FESTIVAL DI LIVORNO, TEATRO VERDI DI PISA and TEATRO PERGOLESI DI JESI, with the conduction of DE BERNART and directed by Marina BIANCHI. 
Starting from October 1997, she decided to make a careful selection of the repertoire, favoring lyrical and lyrical dramatic roles of agility, in which the warm and dark vocality is generously expanded, which is not without great modulation skills in the middle voices, in yarns and bloom s, of typical bel canto writing, but allowing themselves to be sporadic, and very measured,
excursions in the “grand opéra” and in realism.
