Awarded 2nd prize in the 2013 Operalia competition, Simone Piazzola is an Italian baritone that displays ‘attractive warm colours and endless vocal lines’ (Bachtrack). With a burgeoning reputation built upon an affinity for the heavier Verdian roles, he makes his UK debut with a programme of predominantly Italian songs and opera.

‘Simone Piazzola’s baritone has a gorgeous sound, solid and full, depicting a young and impulsive Don Carlo. He wowed the audience with his tasteful phrasing, revealing a great adherence to the character and acting with authority.’ Bachtrack

‘The young baritone Simone Piazzola, the production’s Rodrigo, was a model of robust tone and sensitive phrasing.’ The New York Times
