Giorgio Zancanaro
Giorgio Zancanaro is an Italian baritone, particularly associated with the Italian repertory, especially Verdi. He studied in his native Verona with Maria Palanda and was revealed at the Verdi Competition in Busseto in 1969. He made his official operatic debut the following year in Mantua, as Riccardo in I puritani. Quickly invited to sing at all the major opera houses of Italy, he established himself as the eminent "Verdi baritone" of his generation, notably in I masnadieri, Luisa Miller, and La traviata. He made his debut at La Scala in 1982, as Ford in Falstaff, and took part in important revivals of Attila and I vespri siciliani, under Riccardo Muti. On the international scene, he performed in major cities including London, Paris, and Zurich. He also sang at the festivals of Orange, in 1982 as Posa in Don Carlo, and Bregenz, in 1985 as Riccardo in I puritani opposite Edita Gruberova and Salvatore Fisichella. He made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 1982, as Renato in Un ballo in maschera, one of his best roles. He also appeared at the San Francisco Opera and the Dallas Opera. From Wikipedia (
