Hailed by The Dallas Morning News as an artist who “displays a voice of silken loveliness as well as graceful agility”, American tenor Michele Angelini made his European début at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro and has since appeared on many of the world’s leading stages, including the Royal Opera House, the Teatro Real, the Staatsoper Berlin, the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, and the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
Notable engagements include several performances as Almaviva at the Teatro de la Maestranza in Seville, the Pittsburgh Opera, and a return to ABAO Bilbao Opera; La gazza ladra at the Glimmerglass Festival; Argirio in Tancredi with Opera Philadelphia; and Grimoaldo in Handel’s Rodelinda at the Teatro Real in Madrid. He has also appeared in Il barbiere di Siviglia in Berlin, La Cenerentola in Toulouse, Falstaff in Lisbon, and Die Entführung aus dem Serail in Napa Valley.
His appearances at the Metropolitan Opera have included Rossini’s La fille du régiment, Armida, La donna del lago, Il barbiere di Siviglia, Guillaume Tell, and the Stabat Mater.
Active also on concert stages, Michele Angelini has appeared at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Kennedy Center, and has toured with Collegium 1704.
He graduated in voice and bassoon from the Ohio State University.
