Chryso Makariou, Cypriot soprano based in Vienna, has been characterised by Universal Music Group back in 2022 as one of the most talented artists of our times worldwide with her voice leading the way as the star in a clear skyline. Her accomplishments do not end there as in 2023 she won the first award at the international music contests “Medici International Competition” and “Amadeus Music Awards”.
