Born in Porto, GRAMMY Award-nominated tenor Fernando Guimarães won the L’Orfeo International Singing Competition in Mantova, singing the leading role of Monteverdi’s opera on the 400th birthday of its premiere, and performing it again in Robert Carsen’s production at Opera de Lausanne in 2016.

Guimarães has sung extensively with renowned groups such as Les Arts Florissants, Concerto Köln and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. His recent performances of Handel solo cantatas with the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra were highly acclaimed, as was his portrayal of the title role in Monteverdi’s Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria with Boston Baroque.
