Luca Tittoto This artist studies under the direction of tenor
Beniamino Prior. In 2006, he won the Giuseppe di
Stefano Opera Competition in Trapani, where he
appeared as Don Alfonso in W. A. Mozart’s Così
fan tutte. He manages superbly with early music
performance; among other events, in 2005 he sang
in C. Monteverdi’s L’Incoronazione di Poppea
under the baton of Ottavio Dantone; and in 2007,
in L’Orfeo under the direction of Andrea Marconi
at the Monteverdi festival in Cremona, as well as at
the Aix-en-Provence Festival with René Jacobs. He
is also working on roles in Classical and Romantic
operas (works by W. A. Mozart, G. Rossini, V. Bellini
and G. Puccini). He has to his credit superb
performances of solo parts in oratorio and cantata
works from various eras. He often performs with Marc
Minkowski’s ensemble Les Musiciens du Louvre-
Grenoble; among other events, they have given a
series of concerts in Europe with works devoted to
St. Cecilia (H. Purcell, F. J. Haydn); they have also
performed J. S. Bach’s Mass in B minor in Santiago
de Compostela. This repertoire has been recorded by
Naïve. Tittoto has also performed with Accademia
Bizantina and Ottavio Dantone at the festival in
Spontini (W. A. Mozart’s Graßmusik KV 42). In
March of this year, he made his United States debut
as Leporello (Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Palm Beach
Opera). He records for Naïve and Harmonia Mundi
(W. A. Mozart’s Idomeneo with René Jacobs).
