Born in Florence, Eleonora Bellocci studied under the guidance of Donatella Debolini and graduated with honors from the Luigi Cherubini Music Conservatory in 2019.
In 2016 she joined the Accademia Rossiniana with Alberto Zedda and debuted as Corinna in Il viaggio a Reims at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro. She then attended the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Academy where she studied under the tutelage of international leading artists, performing in major productions for the Florence Opera.
Most recently, Eleonora made a series of notable debuts: the title role in Lucia di Lammermoor at the Angers Nantes Opera, Fauno in Mozart’s Ascanio in Alba under Christophe Rousset at the Theater an der Wien, the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées and the Opéra de Lausanne, as well as Poppea in Robert Carsen’s production of Agrippina, conducted by Davis Bates, at the Opéra de Rouen.
She was also invited by Daniele Gatti to perform Goffredo Petrassi’s Magnificat, a work for light soprano, mixed choir and orchestra, at the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Festival.

Eleonora made her debut as Königin der Nacht in the new Gianluigi Gelmetti/Pier Luigi Pizzi production which opened the 2019 season of the Teatro Massimo Bellini in Catania, and returned to the role a few years later in Barrie Kosky’s production of Die Zauberflöte at the Tel Aviv Opera. She was Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro at the Teatro Comunale di Bologna.

The Innsbrucker Festwochen der Alten Musik invited Eleonora for the title role in the rarity Leonora by Ferdinando Paër under Alessandro De Marchi as well as for the role of Abiathar in Rex Salomon by Tommaso Traetta under Christophe Rousset.
Eleonora Bellocci is a regular guest of the Teatro Filarmonico di Verona where she sang her first Gilda in Arnaud Bernard’s staging of Rigoletto, Giulia in Rossini’s Scala di seta alongside Nikolas Nägele, Ofelia in Franco Faccio’s Amleto and Lisette in Puccini’s Rondine. She also brought to life Musetta in La Bohème for the Arena di Verona Opera Festival.
The 2026-2027 season sees Eleonora performing Amelia al ballo (title role) by Gian Carlo Menotti and Die Entführung aus dem Serail (Blonde), both at the Teatro Filarmonico di Verona, Vivaldi’s Juditha triumphans (Vagaus) under the baton of Gianluca Capuano at the Teatro Regio Torino and Donizetti’s Otto mesi in due ore (Elisabetta) at the Teatro San Carlo.
