Luca Pisaroni (born 1975) is an Italian operatic bass-baritone, known for his roles in Mozart's operas, but who has steadily expanded his repertoire into the Baroque as well as moving beyond into Rossini. Although born in Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela, when he was four years old his family moved to Busseto in Italy – the home of the Italian composer, Giuseppe Verdi. There, his father owned a car-repair firm and his mother was a teacher,〔Picard, Anna. "People: 418. Luca Pisaroni", ''Opera'', January 2014, Vol. 65, No. 1, pp. 6—13.〕 but it was in that town where, he notes, "you feel Verdi's spirit all over the place!"〔 and where his love of opera began. After his musical training in Milan, Buenos Aires and New York, he made his professional debut in 2001 in Germany and sang Masetto at the 2002 Salzburg Festival in Mozart's ''Don Giovanni''. It was through his appearance there that he met both the American baritone Thomas Hampson (who was singing the Don) and his daughter Cate. Cate and Pisaroni were subsequently married〔 and now make their home in Vienna.〔Picard, p. 6: She notes that, having settled in Vienna, "() believes himself to be ''mitteleuropäisch'' by nature"〕 These early appearances led to engagements throughout the world in the major Mozart operas. ==Musical studies and training== In Busseto, he states that "as a kid, I used to go to the opera with my grandfather, and when I was 11, I already knew I wanted to be an opera singer." While not actually attending the musical academy run by the famous local tenor Carlo Bergonzi—he listened-in to his master classes after school— Pisaroni was influenced by the tenor: :I did not technically train with Bergonzi, because I was too young. I sang for him when I was 13 or 14 and he told me to wait until my voice would change and I would be able to start singing. While I did not technically work with him, I listened to his teaching almost every afternoon, and this really taught me a lot in terms of diction, phrasing and how to use your voice to communicate to an audience. I consider him one of my teachers because of that. The way he sang, phrased and used his instrument was unbelievable. His approach on singing was unique and made him one the best Verdi tenors.〔Gazzola interview in Opera Lively〕 He began his training at the Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi in Milan, where he was not comfortable,〔 and so continued his studies for a year in Buenos Aires with Renato Sassola and Rozita Zozulya, and also in New York. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Luca Pisaroni」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
