EMILIANO BLASI
Born in Frosinone, near Rome, Emiliano Blasi made his debut as an orchestral singer at the age of 18 on the Italian television network Canale 5. Under the direction of the legendary maestro of Italian film music, Roberto Pregadio, he toured nationwide across Italy for four years. He later played the role of Figaro in Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, officially launching his operatic career. As a soloist, he performed for two consecutive years at the prestigious Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and at the Corpus Domini Festival at the Orvieto Cathedral, in addition to appearing in numerous operas and concerts throughout Italy, Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands.
Blasi also sang in many operas and concerts under the baton of the great conductor Gustav Kuhn, including Mozart’s Credo Mass. He was a member of Kuhn’s academy and participated for six consecutive years as a soloist at the renowned Tiroler Festspiele, establishing himself as a prominent artist.
In 2010, he was cast in the title role of Gianni Schicchi in a production by the Puccini Festival Foundation in Lucca. He also performed as a soloist under the direction of Alberto Veronesi in a celebratory concert at the Puccini Festival Hall. At the 10th Casamari Opera Festival, he shared the stage with renowned soprano Francesca Patanè, earning high praise during the opening concert of the festival.
In October 2017, he appeared in Tosca in Milan.
Throughout his 20-year career, he has studied with prominent opera singers including Mirella Parutto (soprano), Antonio Boyer (baritone), Paolo Washington (bass), and Nicola Martinucci (tenor). He also attended four years of advanced masterclasses with tenor Veriano Luchetti and soprano Mietta Sighele.

Among his main roles are Il calzolaio e l’esattore, La finta giardiniera, Tristan and Isolde, Rigoletto, and La Traviata. In 2012, with the sponsorship of the Lazio Region, he held a solo recital at Teatro Manzoni, captivating the audience with his extraordinary voice.
