Roberta Volpe trained in Set Design at the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera in Milan and specialised in Set and Costume Design at the Opera Academy of Verona. She completed her artistic formation at Teatro La Scala, where she developed the ability to transform storytelling into powerful visual form.

 

Her international debut came in 2011 at the Amazonas Theatre in Brazil, designing Puccini’s Suor Angelica. In 2013, she moved to London, collaborating with leading theatre and event companies. Her work contributed to major productions and earned the EVCOM Event Design Award in 2018.

​

As a Scenic Artist at the Royal Opera House, Roberta worked on iconic musicals including The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables, and Mamma Mia!, blending theatrical narrative with painterly expression.

In 2019, she opened her own art studio and focused exclusively on painting. Her textured impressionist style explores light, silhouette, and emotion, creating works that move between dream and reality.

​

Roberta earned her PGCE in Art and Design from Goldsmiths, University of London, in 2021 and combines artistic practice with teaching. Since 2024, she has been based in Dubai, where she continues to create and inspire through her art.
