The young soprano Isabel Rey, who was born in Valencia, Spain, began singing at the age of eight as a member of Los Pequeños Cantores choir in that city. At the same time, she started her music studies in the Valencia Conservatory. At fourteen, she began voice training under the tutelage of the present professor, Ana Luisa Chova. She achieved the highest marks, and won the Special Graduation Award.

She began her professional career at the early age of sixteen, with recitals of Spanish and French songs and German lieder throughout the Valencia region.

After completing her studies in Valencia, she moved to Barcelona to train with two great singers and teachers:Tatiana Menotti and Juan Olcina, with whom she prepared most of the roles in her repertoire. She also attended master classes with renowned teachers like Alfredo Kraus, Monserrat Caballe, Renata Scotto and Ileana Cotrubas.
