Bass – Baritone
Biography
Born in Milan, Tiziano Bracci studied under Ilia Aramayo Sandivari at his hometown’s Civica Scuola di Musica, going on for postgraduate studies under Rachel Yakar and Edda Moser at the Académie Européenne de Musique in Aix-en-Provence. Winner of several international competitions, including the Viotti International Competition in Vercelli and the Francisco Viñas International Singing Competition in Barcelona, he subsequently joined the Deutsche Oper Berlin, specialising mainly in buffo and belcanto roles. He has appeared in some of Europe’s most prestigious theatres, including the Wiener Staatsoper, the Bayerische Staatsoper, the Royal Opera Covent Garden, the Théatre du Chatelet, the Teatr Wielki Opera Narodowa and the Glyndebourne Tour. He also appears regularly in concert in both the sacred and symphonic repertoire and has taken part in several CD and DVD recordings.
Tiziano Bracci’s roguish Dulcamara sounded lighter and brighter-voiced than some, but his way with words is second to none and he was wonderfully funny throughout
