Born in Piatra Neamț (Romania), Veronica Anușca started studying music at the “Victor Brauner” Art High School when she was 12. After one year of guitar practice, she transferred to the cello section where she spent the next three years. It was after finishing the 8th grade that she decided to follow what she now knew was her true calling: singing. Oddly enough, the one who helped her realize and decide her true passion was not one of her instrument teachers nor the singing teacher. It was her Musical Theory teacher, Mr. Ionel Ceobanu that pointed her in the right direction.
In 2004 she was accepted at the National University of Music Bucharest which she graduated in 2009. She went on to successfully follow the N.U.M.B. Master program which she finished in June 2011. Her university studies have taken place under the guidance of her singing teacher, Ph.D. Ionel Voineag and his assistant, Ph.D. Andreiana Roșca Geamănă. Currently she is completing her doctorate studies in baroque music performance, under the guidance of PhD. Valentina Sandu-Dediu at the National University of Music Bucharest

Since then she added to her repertory Gilda from Rigoletto by Verdi (which she also sung at the Craiova Opera house), Musetta from La Boheme by Puccini and the title role from Lucia di Lammermoore by Donizetti directed by the renowned stage director Andrei Șerban. She also sung baroque opera roles like Morgana from Alcina by Händel (Bucharest National University of Music, Bucharest National Opera House and Cluj Music Academy) and Zima from Les Indes Galantes by Rameau (Iași Romanian Opera House). In 2017 she has been invited in Winslow Opera House, Great Britain, to sing seven performances of Oscar from Un ballo in maschera by Verdi.

Her repertoire includes varied genres of vocal music, from lied to aria, to oratorio and opera. As a lied singer she has successfully performed in various recitals including baroque, classical, romantic, modern and contemporary music. Her flexibility and open-mindedness allows her to sing at the same time baroque music, opera, vocal-symphonic, sacred music and also to be one of the most sought-after contemporary music singer thus switching between styles without pause or fault.
Besides her operatic career, she has also performed in many vocal-symphonic concerts accompanied by some of the most renowned orchestras in Romania, under the baton of great conductors, such as Adrian Butterfield, Adrian Prabava, Claudio Desderi, Cristian Mandeal, Cristian Badea, Tiberiu Soare, David Crescenzi, Matthias Manasi, Cem Mansur, and Leo Hussain.

This ability to approach different if not opposite types of music demonstrates intelligence, musical knowledge and a deep passion for singing as well as a voice with limitless possibilities.
