Paola Elorza

Opera & Performing Arts

Paola is a regular student of the renowned Italian tenor and voice coach Raffaele Cardone, founder of Miami Lyric Opera, where she performed from 2019 until the company closed in 2023.

With MLO, Paola performed as Giannetta in Donizetti's L'Elisir d'Amore; Sister Dolcina and understudy for Sister Genovieffa in Puccini's Suor Angelica, besides being a member of the choir for La Traviata, Cavalleria Rusticana, Lucia di Lammermoor, Carmen, and opera galas.

After MLO's closing, Paola has been an active member, soloist, and director of Fine Arts of Miami, always under the coaching and guidance of Maestro Cardone.

During these years, Paola has sung alongside international singers such as Nelson Martinez and Eglise Gutierrez, and new growing talents like Gabriel Lasalette and Beatriz Menendez.

Music is not something new for her. Paola grew up in a musical environment, and at a very young age, she was coached by her mother, Maestra Ruth Godoy, Doctor in Music, music conducting teacher, and choir conductor, in the art of singing.

By the age of 16, Paola played recorder, guitar, and piano and had performed as a soloist playing instruments and/or singing in many presentations, with her school and professionally with her mother, such as the International Choir Festival in Porto Alegre, Brazil, with Taller Coral Renacimiento, or Cantata 147 by J.S. Bach, with Coro Madrigalistas of the UMCE University.

She later entered PUC University's Bachelor of Music, with a major in singing, but for personal reasons, she had to abandon it and pursue a career in meteorology, which brought her into the TV world and to the United States.
