Born in Poland, soprano Justyna Giermola Predko brings a traditional  European flavor to opera with a layered, luxuriant voice, and striking beauty.  The critics have called her a soprano with a “rich, velvety timbre” and her  performances have been described as “sparkling and pristine”.  

Justyna made her Zankel Hall debut at Carnegie Hall singing a concert of  works by the Polish composer Stanislaw Moniuszko. In the same month she  also sang the NYC premiere of Tomas Peire Serrate’s Five Haiku for  chamber ensemble and voice with Four Corners Ensemble. She was also a  featured soloist for The New Vision Concert under the auspices of New  York Dance & Art Innovations. Continuing her celebration of new works she  also had the distinct honor of debuting three songs by Patricia Giannattasio  in Treble Girls, a concert dedicated to women composers. She was also the  soloist in a Gala Concert with the NJCU Orchestra where she sang excerpts  from Verdi’s Don Carlo and Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier. Ms. Giermola’s  season was rounded off by company debuts with Hudson Lyric Opera and  NYC Productions singing Santuzza in Cavalleria Rusticana and First Witch  (Dido, cover) in Dido and Aeneas, respectively. Coming up, Justyna will be  the Soprano Soloist in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with the Westfield  Orchestra. 

Justyna has sung the roles of Auretta in Mozart’s L’oca del Cairo, Violetta  in La Traviata, Musetta and Mimi in La Boheme, Micaela in Carmen,  Nedda in I Pagliacci, Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni, Santuzza in Cavalleria  Rusticana, and the title roles in Tosca, Manon Lescaut and Suor  Angelica. Other roles include Mother and Hansel in Hansel and Gretel,  Jadwiga in the Polish Opera Straszny Dwor (Haunted Manor) and Aldonza  in Man of La Mancha.  

Her performances have led her to venues in NYC as well as nationally in  Ohio, Arizona, California, Florida, North Carolina, Louisiana, Colorado, and  Minnesota and internationally to Spain, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Germany and  Austria.
