After graduating, she studied with Maestro Delfo Menicucci at the Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi, Milan, going on to the Accademia della Scala, where she continued her studies under Mirella Freni, Renato Bruson and Luciana Serra.

In the same theatre she appeared as Adina L’Elisir d’Amore and went on to appear as Adina again at the Teatro Carlo Felice di Genova. Letitia Vitelaru has appeared in concert in international venues including Paris, Pretoria, Johannesburg, Athens, Bucharest and Hamburg.

She has gone on to appear as Susanna Le Nozze di Figaro. at the Ópera de Bellas Artes in Mexico City and the title role of Lucia Lucia di Lammermoor for Dorset Opera Festival.

Lucia herself was a revelation! The young Latvian soprano, Letitia Vitelaru, who studied with the great Mirella Freni at the Accademia della Scala in Milan has a wondrous upper register: she was born to sing this role and gave us a show-stopping Mad Scene in duet with the now infamous glass harmonica - which Dorset had authentically provided.
