Award-Winning Brazilian Soprano, Recording Artist & Activist
Gabriella Di Laccio Biography
Gabriella Di Laccio MBE is an award-winning soprano, recording artist, public speaker, curator, and activist, who has become one of the leading voices in the fight for gender equality in music.
Di Laccio enjoys an international career that spans opera, oratorio, and chamber music. Recognized by Sir Charles Mackerras as “a singer of outstanding talent,” she performs regularly as a soloist on major stages across Europe, South America, and beyond. Her vocal range and expressive clarity have earned her acclaim for performances that effortlessly bridge the stylistic worlds of baroque, classical, and contemporary music.
Listed as one of the BBC’s 100 most inspirational and influential women in the world, Di Laccio is also the founder of Donne, Women in Music – a charitable foundation dedicated to amplifying women in music from past and present. In June 2025, she was appointed a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) for her services to music and gender equality.
Her operatic repertoire includes leading roles such as Cleopatra (Giulio Cesare), Semele (Semele), Adina (L’Elisir d’Amore), Musetta (La Bohème), Susanna (Le Nozze di Figaro), Despina (Così fan tutte), and Zerlina (Don Giovanni). On the concert platform, she has performed major works by Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Haydn, and Mozart in prestigious venues including Wigmore Hall, Purcell Room at Southbank Centre, Elgar Room at Royal Albert Hall, St John’s Smith Square, and the Megaron Opera House in Athens. She appears regularly with renowned early music ensembles such as Florilegium, Il Festino, Di Profundis, and the Baroque Orchestra of Mercosur.

The Missing Half
Goal: Open audiences to one of the great cultural blind spots of our era — and what it costs us to leave it unaddressed.
Overview: For four hundred years, women composed music that history forgot to keep. The archive we inherited is not neutral — it is incomplete by design. Gabriella weaves live performance, archival evidence and her own journey from Royal College of Music to TED2026 main stage to ask what changes in our culture, our institutions, and the AI systems being trained on our archives the moment we acknowledge what is missing. This is the keynote that earned her the TED Global Idea Search and a place on the TED main stage in Vancouver, April 2026.
Who is this for? International conferences, cultural summits, plenary openings, broadcaster events, festival opening nights, royal and state occasions.

What AI Learns When We Erase Women From Music
Goal: Show leaders in technology, culture and creative industries how cultural bias becomes algorithmic bias — and what to do about it now.
Overview: Every generative AI system is trained on the cultural archive we built. If half of music history was never recorded, indexed or taught, what is the machine learning? Drawing on five years of Donne Foundation research across 115 countries and more than 5,000 women composers, Gabriella Di Laccio explains how an incomplete archive becomes a flawed dataset, how flawed datasets become biased systems, and why this is the single most important conversation creative industries, educators and technology leaders are not yet having. Delivered at TEDxLondon as part of the global TED Idea Search series.
Who is this for? Technology and AI conferences, creative-industry forums, cultural-policy summits, broadcaster strategy days, university-tech crossover events.
