The Italian tenor Matteo Lippi, from Genoa, is back at Oper Frankfurt, where he made his debut last season singing Macduff in our Macbeth, to sing Cavaradossi in this revival of Tosca. He was trained by Mirella Freni in Modena and won the Toti dal Monte competition. He sang his first Rodolfos (La bohème) at opera houses in Treviso, Ferrara, Jesi and Fermo and then the Bolschoi in Moscow and Teatro La Fenice in Venice, where he also sang Alfredo (La Traviata). He sang Cavaradossi at the National Theatre in Prague, Alfredo at Latvian National Opera, Pinkerton (Madama Butterfly) at the Teatro Regio in Turin and in Valencia and the Duke (Rigoletto) at the Royal Opera in Copenhagen. He thrilled audiences at La Scala Milan as Gabriele Adorno (Simon Boccanegra), Arrigo (I vepri siciliani) and Ruggero Lastouc (La Rondine), and the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris singing Riccardo (Un ballo in maschera), a role he also sang at Norske Opera in Oslo and Bologna.
