Roberto De Biasio only made his debut in December 2006, singing Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor at the Teatro Donizetti of Bergamo, yet he has already found incredible success and has been catapulted to the forefront of today’s Verdi tenors.

Before his singing career Roberto was a professional flautist and teacher of History of Modern and Contemporany Music at University of Cassino.
