Mauro Borgioni
The baritone Mauro Borgioni studied singing at the Scuola Civica in Milan and at the Cesena Conservatoire, and went on to continue his studies at the Fondation Royaumont. He has performed in some of Europe’s most prestigious concert halls and theatres, including the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Teatro Regio in Turin, the Cité de la Musique in Paris, the Cologne Philharmonie, the Auditorio Nacional in Madrid, as well as the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
He has specialised particularly in the Baroque repertoire. He has sung the title role in Monteverdi’s 'L’Orfeo' in Turin, Ferrara and at the Teatro Escola Basileu França in Brazil, Ulisse (Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria) and Alessandro Melani’s L’empio punito at the Reate Festival in Rome, Aeneas in Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas in Cesena, Gorizia and Ravenna, as well as Haman in Handel’s Esther and Polyphemus in Acis and Galatea at the Teatro Comunale di Ferrara.
Mauro Borgioni is also at home in the contemporary repertoire. He sang the Traveller in Britten’s 'Curlew River' and Noah in Britten’s ‘Noye’s Fludde’ with the Camerata Strumentale di Prato under Jonathan Webb, and Aye in Philip Glass’s ’Akhnaten’ with the orchestra of the Teatro Regio in Turin under Dante Anzolini.
He has also taken part in numerous recordings for record labels, radio and TV broadcasters such as Brilliant Classics, Stradivarius, Fra Bernardo, Ricercar and the ORF.
