Caterina Rossini & William Agliata Artistic Directors | Founders | Performing Artists

Mezzo-soprano Caterina Rossini and baritone William Agliata are internationally recognized performing artists, educators, and cultural leaders whose work bridges the Italian bel canto tradition with the breadth of the American and international performing arts landscape.

Both born and trained in Rome, Italy, they share deep roots in classical music and theatre, shaped by rigorous study and decades of professional performance on major stages in Europe and the United States. Their combined artistry reflects a rare integration of dramatic truth, technical excellence, and stylistic authenticity.

Caterina Rossini’s career spans leading operatic and concert venues including Dicapo Opera Theatre, New York City Opera, Opera Company of Brooklyn, the Teatro Olimpico, and historic concert halls throughout Italy and the United States. Her work as both singer and actor, informed by her training with Dominique De Fazio and the Italian vocal tradition of Francesco and Liliana Recchia, brings exceptional depth to her artistic leadership.

William Agliata has enjoyed a multifaceted international career for over three decades, appearing with institutions such as the Rome Opera, New York City Opera, Teatro Brancaccio, Teatro Olimpico, and Regina Opera. A master teacher and vocal stylist rooted in the bel canto tradition, his pedagogical work draws from his long association with Francesco and Liliana Recchia and his cross-genre expertise.

Together, Rossini and Agliata co-founded Mostly Classical Performing Arts, LLC, an agency and artistic platform dedicated to representing, producing, and promoting classical musicians at the highest professional level. Through their leadership, MCPA serves as a bridge between artists and concert halls, opera houses, festivals, and educational institutions worldwide.

As Artistic Directors, they are committed to excellence, innovation, and community engagement—developing performance opportunities, educational initiatives, and culturally enriching programs that honor tradition while fostering artistic growth for future generations.
