Violeta Urmana is a Lithuanian operatic singer who trained in Lithuania and launched an international career initially as a mezzo-soprano before later taking on soprano roles. Her repertoire has concentrated on dramatic 19th- and early 20th-century works by composers such as Verdi, Wagner and Strauss, and her transition from mezzo to soprano broadened her engagement with large-scale operatic roles on European and international stages, reflecting the presence of Lithuanian vocalists in the global opera scene.
