Pietro Di Bianco

The piano came first: Pietro Di Bianco studied it at the Salerno Conservatory and continued at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia before turning to the voice with Giuliana Valente and graduating from the conservatory of L'Aquila in Anna Vandi's class. Alberto Zedda's Accademia Rossiniana in Pesaro took him in 2010, and he later worked with Raina Kabaivanska, Rockwell Blake and Raphael Sikorski. Don Alfonso at Santa Cecilia and Don Alvaro in Il viaggio a Reims at the Rossini Opera Festival came first; Leporello at the Festival de Lacoste in 2012 was his French début. From 2012 to 2015 he belonged to the Atelier Lyrique of the Paris Opera, singing Collatinus in The Rape of Lucretia, Thoas in Iphigénie en Tauride, Leporello and Don Alfonso, and he took first prize at the Paris Opera Awards in 2014. Don Profondo, Hidraot in Armide, Fiorello and Selim in Il turco in Italia have joined the list since.
