Italian tenor Omar Mancini is rapidly becoming one of most important young voices of his generation. As a 2022-2024 member of the Grand Théâtre de Genève’s Jeune Ensemble, he sang the role of Abdallo in Nabucco alongside Saioa Hernandez as Abigaille and Nicola Alaimo as Nabucco, covered Roberto/Earl of Leicester in Maria Stuarda, and performed as Eurimaco in Monteverdi’s Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria and Dritter Knappe in Wagner’s Parsifal.
This season brings highly anticipated role and house debuts, beginning with Mancini’s first performances at Semperoper Dresden as Wagner in a new production of Boito’s Mefistofele staged by Eva-Maria Höckmayr and conducted by Andrea Battistoni. Later in the season he returns to the Deutsche Oper Berlin as Il Conte di Libenskof in Il viaggio a Reims. On the concert stage, Mancini is the tenor soloist in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with the orchestra of Teatro Regio di Torino and Maestro Michele Spotti at the MITO SettembreMusica Festival and returns to Grand Théâtre de Genève in Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle at Temple de Saint Gervais.
He makes his debut at the Gran Teatre del Liceu.
