Roberto De Biasio made his operatic debut in December 2006, singing Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor at the Teatro Donizetti of Bergamo. His “virile, glistening voice” (New York Times), “appealingly natural sense of Italianate phrasing!” (Boston Globe), and “fluid phrasing and an exciting, ringing top” (San Francisco Chronicle) are celebrated by press and audiences alike. Before the pandemic he sang Lucia di Lammeramoor (Edgardo) and Madama Butterfly (Pinkerton) at Opéra de Toulon and Carmen (Don José) at Maggio Musicale Fiorentino in Florence.
