Aliana de la Guardia is an actor and classical singer. She began her training in theater and film at age fifteen and completed professional studies in voice and opera at The Boston Conservatory. As a founder and General Manager of Guerilla Opera, an Ensemble-in-Residence at The Boston Conservatory, she has co-produced 6 operas and premiered 5 roles including "Sarah Palin/Diane Sawyer" in Hughes's Say It Ain't So, Joe, which received national attention in 2009, and most recently was the "Dog" in Rudolf Rojahn's Heart of a Dog, a production which traveled to Memphis in February 2011, as well as premiering the role in 2007. De la Guardia is an eternal student of the craft of acting and applies it to all her endeavors, and in 2010 made the crossover leap by landing a guest star on ABC's "Body of Proof". She continues to work with young singers and performers by teaching classes in ensemble and solo performance, and aspires towards a long career of performing on TV/Film, Theater, Opera and Classical Music, and teaching performance skills to young artists.

I think a lot of people, when they think about contemporary classical music, automatically associate it with modern music or art, as a strange animal that they're not going to understand or like. There's a lot more than just the opera or just the production or the music or the actors. I think that we're trying to make this new repertoire accessible to people. It's something that's necessary today - to cultivate new works and not just reinvent the standard repertoire into new productions. Show less «
Mozart is always Mozart, but he's dead now - and he's not writing anything else.
