Marina Viotti has signed with Naïve Records.

Viotti was recently awarded a French Victoire de la Musique in 2023 and is highly recognized for her unrivaled, intense, and wide musical universe, inside and beyond the pure classical repertoire.

Her debut album for the label will be out on Oct. 11 and will see her perform music by Dowland as well as contemporary rock ballads.

In a statement regarding her new contract, Viotti said, “I am very excited to sign with naïve and also join Believe Group. Their modern views and ways, their passion and diversity are the perfect match to both my artistic projects and my personality, and I believe will help me develop and grow as a singer and as a person.”

Naïve Classique added, “It is an honor for naïve to welcome Marina Viotti, one of the most talented, creative and multifaceted mezzo soprano of today’s stage worldwide. Marina has shaped over the years a voice capable to embrace her vast musical horizon and vibrant curiosity. From heavy metal to baroque opera and world music, Marina masters an infinite range of techniques, nuances and emotions, that are as many ways to deeply connect with her audience. Discovering Marina’s projects is not only about music, it is a real life experience and we can’t wait to dive into this exciting collaboration with her: Welcome to naïve, Marina!”

Viotti recently performed with “Carmen” in Zurich and this fall is set to perform “Faust” in Paris and “Die Fledermaus” in Barcelona.”
