Born in Florence, the tenor Giorgio Casciarri is one of the great interpreters of rôles in his repertoire. After winning the Concorso Internazionale V. Bellini in 1991, he made his début in 1992 as the Duke of Mantua in Rigoletto at the Teatro Piccinni in Bari, and the following year he won the Concorso Mattia Battistini with the rôle of Count Almaviva in Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia. His highly successful career has taken him to the leading international theatres and concert halls, including Teatro alla Scala in Milan, the Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino in Florence, the Gran Teatro La Fenice in Venice, the Berlin Deutsche Oper, the Opéra de Nice, the Metropolitan in New York, the Salzburg Festival, Detroit Opera, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Lisbon San Carlo, Cologne Opera, Frankfurt Opera, the Verona Arena, Budapest Opera, Bilbao Opera, the Teatro Massimo in Palermo, the Genoa Teatro Carlo Felice, Parma Teatro Regio, and Rome Teatro dell’Opera, with a repertoire that includes leading tenor rôles in operas by Donizetti, Verdi, Puccini, Bellini, Gounod, and Mozart. He continues his vocal studies with Doris Andrews.
