Claudia Pinza Bozzolla was a reknowned Metropolitan Opera singer and daughter of Metropolitan and Broadway star Ezio Pinza. She shared her talents and love of music as a voice teacher for Pitt & Duquesne Universities, and became widely known as the host of Opera with Claudia, a radio program on WDUQ-FM lasting over fifteen years.
Contributions for continuing Claudia’s legacy for development of American singers in opera are encouraged. Proceeds are directed for expenses of American opera students for advanced training in Oderzo, Italy focusing upon career preparation, technique training, diction, movement and body awareness, voice conditioning, stage energy and a working blueprint for role preparation.
