"His voice is very powerful, and replete with the full Italian armoury of sobs, portamento, look-at-me rubato and phrase teasing. He easily fulfils the role’s “young and handsome” brief, he brings a lithe finesse to the quieter music, and was impressively agile in ’La donna e mobile’ " Full article

Since racking up rave reviews as the lovesick Rodolfo in Puccini's sold-out La Bohème at the Metropolitan Opera in New York last year, the darkly handsome, wildly flirtatious Italian-born tenor Vittorio Grogolo has been jetting from New York to sold-out performances in Milan and London, recording a thid solo album (this month's Arrivederci), and preparing to make his highly anticipated West Coast operatic debut in Romeo and Juliet, directed by Plácido Domingo, at the L.A.

“Most of my own eyes and ears went with Grigolo, partly because of his sheer energy. This was a rejuvenated Faust whom you could believe in…..but the commitment, strength and vocal mobility that made him last year’s Covent Garden wow in Manon still rang through the house”

Opera’s Rising Star: Vittorio Grigolo

It is a few hours before the curtain rises on Puccini’s La Bohème now at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, and 33-year-old Vittorio Grigolo, the handsome, increasingly prominent face of international opera can be found resting in a stuffy, decidedly drab dressing room tucked in the basement of Lincoln Center. Making my way through the confounding labyrinth of tunnels before ending up outside his door—assistants are bustling up the corridor, a piano is playing in the distance, somebody is practicing scales, and the air, quite suddenly, smells thickly of an intoxicating cologne.

It's hard to know how to react to opera hype. No one in 2010 wants to buy into a media construction, but when it comes to opera, the relevant media are so predictable and transparent (a major PR coup for a singer consists of some combination of the cover of Opera News and a profile in The Times) that it is very simple to know who is hyped, and more difficult to know whether the hype is unjustified or misleading.
