ANGELO FERRARI TENORE

Italian tenor Angelo Ferrari has been performing professionally for over 35 years, delighting audiences throughout the world. Trained in the Italian art of bel canto, Angelo has specialized in the dramatically and vocally challenging roles written by composers such as Bellini, Donizetti, and Puccini, that few tenors have undertaken successfully.

Debuting as Nemorino in L’elisir d’amore with Bellas-Artes in Chihuahua when he was just 18, Angelo was one of the youngest tenors to take the professional stage. His career took off with invitations to perform with prestigious opera companies all over the world and renowned directors resulting in stellar reviews, and includes highlights such as winning first prize in the 2007 International Mario Del Monaco Foundation Competition.

Mr. Ferrari’s repertoire is focused primarily on opera and he has performed to critical acclaim the leading tenor role in La Bohème, La Fille du Régiment, Rigoletto, Don Pasquale, L’elisir d’amore, L’amico Fritz, La Sonnambula, La Favorita, Il Trovatore, I Puritani, I Pescatori di Perle, La Traviata, and others. He is also in great demand as a soloist for oratorios, both from the early music period as well as modern pieces such as the world premiere of the Missa Bosniensi. Recent performances include collaborations with the Texas Bach Festival.

Mr. Ferrari has also specialized in concerts featuring classic arias, zarzuela, Italian songs and famous melodies. His concerts Serata Lirica and Passione are always exciting and well received.

Mr. Ferrari is very proud and honored to have received an official day proclamation from the city of Houston in 2016. April 24th is Angelo Ferrari Day.

Mr. Ferrari has remained active performing as a soloist with local and regional groups such as the Bach Festival and Bravura series.

Upcoming projects include recordings and concerts in Italy.
