Born in Tbilisi, Surguladze studied singing with Guliko Kariauli at the Tbilisi State Conservatoire. After winning a prize at the Francisco Viñas International Singing Contest in Barcelona, she earned her a scholarship at the Accademia of the Teatro alla Scala [it], where she studied with Leyla Gencer and Luciana Serra. She made her operatic debut as Cuniza in Verdi's Oberto and Zulma in Rossini's L'italiana in Algeri in Milan in 2002, and has since appeared in many opera houses around the world.
She has appeared in the Italian television film Rigoletto a Mantova (2010) and in the Georgian films Valsi Pechoraze and Metichara. In 2010, she was awarded the Presidential Order of Excellence by Mikhail Saakashvili.
