After having been finalist last year, a few days ago I had the honour and priviledge of being among the winners of the Armel Opera Competition in Hungary. I was chosen for the role of Jacopo Fiesco in Verdi’s Simon Boccanegra. Being a bass and coming from Genoa, the city where the plot of this masterpiece is settled, I can tell you that singing this role will be a fantastic challenge and a real pleasure for me! The première will take place in Szeged (Hungary) at the National Opera House on the 10th of October 2013 and it will be broadcasted on the internet by the TV channel ARTE.
