From his first performance as a soloist in the Sistine Chapel Choir to the leading tenor roles in the world's most prestigious theatres, Vittorio Grigolo's career is a story of talent, passion and dedication. Vittorio Grigolo was born in Arezzo and he grew up in Rome. It was in the Eternal City, when he, aged only 13, performed as the young shepherd alongside the great Luciano Pavarotti in Tosca at the Roman Opera House, after which he was affectionately called Il Pavarottino. In 2000, aged 23, he was the youngest tenor to open the theatre season at La Scala in Milan, with a concert dedicated to Verdi. Grigolo performs on the world’s most important stages, under eminent conductors such as Riccardo Chailly, Lorin Maazel, Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, Myung-Whun Chung, Daniel Oren and Antonio Pappano. With the role of Rodolfo in the opera La Bohème, he emerged as a new shining star of New York’s Metropolitan Opera in 2010. Vittorio Grigolo's repertoire includes title roles in Italian and French operas: La Traviata, La Bohème, Rigoletto, L'elisir d'amore, Lucia di Lammermoor, Faust, Romeo and Juliet, Manon, The Tales of Hoffmann, Werther, etc. His outstanding recording successes include his debut album In the Hands of Love (platinum edition), West Side Story by Bernstein, a Grammy nomination and albums recorded for Sony Classical. Wishing to bring opera closer to young people, he was the first to perform two famous operas on the most unusual "operatic stages": La Traviata at Zurich Central Station (2008) and L'elisir d'amore at Milan's Malpensa Airport (2015). Grigolo portrayed the Duke of Mantua in the television film Rigoletto a Mantua and performed an unforgettable role in the acclaimed live satellite broadcast of the opera La Bohème from the Metropolitan Opera directed by Franco Zeffirelli. The Zagreb audience also watched the latter on the "biggest screen in Croatia" as part of the Metropolitan at Lisinski Hall cycle. Grigolo has received numerous awards and honourable mentions for his artistic work, confirming his status as one of today's greatest tenors, which the Zagreb audience will also have the opportunity to see at Grigolo's first live appearance at Lisinski Hall.
