Ilona Sofia Nastase is a Romanian classical singer currently pursuing a Graduate Diploma at Trinity Laban
Conservatoire.
Previously, Ilona had performances at the Bucharest National Opera House, at Scottish Opera as part of their Young Company, and she was a member of Glyndebourne Academy's 2024 cohort. Since then, she further developed her skills in masterclasses with Sir Thomas Allen, Susan Bullock CBE, James Baillieu, and Ailish Tynan, garnering valuable experience.
Most recently, she had the honour of performing alongside Romanian soprano Rodica Vica in a sold-out concert at the Romanian Cultural Institute in London, and this past July she performed in Monteverdi's 'Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria' with Trinity Laban Opera at Blackheath Halls. Earlier this year, she was also a finalist of the Lillian Ash French Song Competition.
Ilona continues to refine her technique under mezzo-soprano Sarah Pring and vocal coach Ricardo Gosalbo.
