Hydria was a symphonic metal duo from Rio de Janeiro formed in 2008, centred on vocalist Raquel Schüler and guitarist, composer, and producer Celo Oliveira.

Hydria continued with Poison Paradise, the acoustic collection Acústico — The Acoustic Sessions (2011), and Freakshow (2013) before splitting up that same year.
