Composer, vocalist and instrumentalist Laura Intravia is internationally renowned for her multi-faceted musical career in opera, concert music and video game/film soundtracks.
A coloratura soprano with “bright ping,” Laura's love of new music and contemporary opera has lead her to several role world premieres, including Young Iphis in The Body Politic (Juventas New Music Ensemble) and Elisa in Omar Najmi's debut opera En la ardiente oscuridad. She has frequently collaborated with MetroWest Opera (now MassOpera), appearing as Amy in Little Women, Leonora in The Beautiful Bridegroom and Queer Kid in the 2018 workshop performance of Kamala Sakaram's Taking Up Serpents. Laura also appeared with Beth Morrison Projects as quintet soprano in Missy Mazzoli's Song from the Uproar.
On the concert stage, in addition to her voice, Laura has taken her classical flute, world flutes and Electronic Wind Instrument across the globe on the Video Games Live international concert tour. Appearing as a principal soloist since 2009, Laura has performed with over 40 orchestras worldwide, including the Pittsburgh Symphony, Utah Symphony, Houston Symphony Orchestra, Colorado Symphony, Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, Orquesta Nacional de España, Polish National Radio Symphony, U.A.E. National Symphony and the Qatar Philharmonic. She made her debuts at the Palais des Congrès in Paris in 2009, Wolf Trap in Virginia in 2013, and Konzerthaus in Vienna in 2016. She has also performed as a guest soloist with the Pokemon: Symphonic Evolutions world tour, making her Madison Square Garden debut with the show in 2015. Laura also performed at the world premiere of Journey: LIVE with Fifth House Ensemble, under the baton of composer Austin Wintory.

Equally at home in her recording studio, Laura's work as a remote session musician has appeared in over 70 video game and film soundtracks. Her versatility in various vocal styles has lead to an equally wide range of recording projects; from the classic soprano sound of Destiny 2, Honor of Kings and ReCore; to pop belting in Star Wars Outlaws, Code Vein and Arknights; to genre-bending, world music vocals in Darksiders 3 and Mortal Kombat 11. In addition to her studio choral work on projects such as God Eater 3, Laura is well-versed in the techniques of vocal multi-tracking in projects like Arkhangel: House of the Seven Stars and Super Lucky's Tale. Her classical, jazz and world flutes can be heard in games such as Star Wars Outlaws, Rainbow Billy, Mages of Mystralia and Tin Hearts.
A composer as well as a lyricist, Laura has won several awards for her original works, including the Jack Downey Vocal Composition Prize and 2nd place in the New York Treble Singers Composition Competition. An avid arranger, Laura's solo piano arrangements of Austin Wintory's Grammy-nominated score Journey were published by Alfred Music in 2013. Laura has arranged and orchestrated several pieces on the Video Games Live album series, and has released two solo piano video game arrangement albums, Through Time and Space and Shall We Play?, both featuring pianist Brendon Shapiro. Laura made her video game debut in 2018 by composing additional music for the indie point-and-click adventure Arkhangel: House of the Seven Stars, as well as co-writing the game's end credits song with lead composer Chad Seiter. She also collaborated with composer Sterling Maffe on "Dawn of the Moon" for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, providing lyrics and vocals for the commemorative 5th anniversary song.

Lang Composition Scholarship and Hockett Composition Scholarship. She was the Keynote Speaker for the North American Conference of Video Game Music in 2024. Laura is a visioning partner for Catalyst New Music, and has served as a jury member in multiple video game audio showcase competitions including Indiecade and the Game Remix Awards.
