Bio
Emmanuel di Villarosa Tenor.. ....Nessun Dorma...... .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. | .. More Videos.... ....Rigoletto: Questa o quella...... .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. | .. More Videos.... .. After the grand success of the past two seasons with the Theater Kiel, in Kiel, Germany; Mr. di Villarosa was invited back as the main focal point in their 2008/09 opera season. Beginning with the Premiere of the five act version of Verdi’s DON CARLOS, title role; then continuing with the reprise as Calaf in Puccini’s TURANDOT and as Don José in Bizet’s most beloved CARMEN. Calaf in Puccini’s TURANDOT is a role that has brought him much acclaim in Europe with the Bremer Theater and with Stadttheater Giessen. His performances with the Bremer Theater were for the grand reopening of their newly renovated opera house. In January of 2009, Emmanuel will add two new roles to his repertoire, first the Italian singer in Strauss’ DER ROSENKAVALIER, then, in the spring of 2009, Emmanuel will create the title role of ANTAR composed by Gabriel Dupond. This opera has not been performed since 1948 and then only once. There are no recordings available and Naxos is showing interest in making the very first recording with Emmanuel singing the title role. Later in the spring he will also sing in a Puccini gala where the music is again focused around him. In total, Emmanuel will sing over 35 performances with the Theater Kiel. Emmanuel will also return to the Teatr Wielki in Warsaw, Poland to sing LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR and in spring 2009 to sing Don José in Bizet’s CARMEN. Emmanuel made an important debut as Alvaro in Verdi’s original version of LA FORZA DEL DESTINO with the renowned Caramoor Summer Festival under the baton of Maestro Will Cruchfield. Emmanuel brought the house down with his third act rendition of “La vita inferno all’infelice”, and the New York Times said “As Alvaro, the tenor Emmanuel di Villarosa sang passionately, with plenty of ringing top notes.” Last season 2007/08, Emmanuel added two additional roles to his vast repertoire. First, as Ismaele in Verdi’s NABUCCO, where he made an important house debut with Oper Frankfurt and, second as Hoffmann in Offenbach's LES CONTES D’HOFFMANN with the Teatr Wielki, Warsaw Poland. Emmanuel’s “Hoffmann” was such a great success that he was immediately re-engaged to sing Edgardo in LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR later in the same season. Emmanuel was also re-engaged with the Theater Kiel, as Don José in Bizet’s beloved CARMEN as well as Calaf in Puccini’s TURANDOT, where he had a highly successful run as Alvaro in Verdi's LA FORZA DEL DESTINO in the 2006/07 opera season. Career highlights have included a debut with the Metropolitan Opera in THE GAMBLER (live radio broadcast), Pollione in NORMA at the Staatstheater Stuttgart, the title role in DON CARLOS with the Nationaltheater Mannheim. Emmanuel has performed the role of Rodolfo in Puccini's LA BOHÈME over 100 times while making essential house debuts with the New York City Opera, Seattle Opera, Opera Colorado, Kentucky Opera, the New York City Opera National Company, and Germany's prestigious Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe. The lovelorn and adored Rodolfo has subsequently become his signature role. In the 2006/07 season, Emmanuel also made house debuts again as Rodolfo in LA BOHÈME with Staatstheater Wiesbaden and the title role in DON CARLOS, Cavaradossi in Puccini’s TOSCA, Opern Darmstadt, and Rodolfo in Puccini’s LA BOHÈME where he was invited back for his much-loved performance at the Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe. Mr. di Villarosa made his European debut with Austria’s Landestheater Linz as Tamino in DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE where he spent three seasons as a fest singer performing a variety of roles which included the title role in DON CARLOS, Don José in Bizet’s CARMEN, Cavaradossi in TOSCA, the title role in Gounod’s FAUST, as Jenik in THE BARTERED BRIDE, and Edgardo in LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR. Other notable performances include a debut with Dallas Opera as Alfredo in LA TRAVIATA (student performances), additional appearances with the Bremer Theater as The Duke in RIGOLETTO, the title role in FAUST with Sarasota Opera; Roméo in ROMÉO ET JULIETTE with Connecticut Opera, the Duke in RIGOLETTO and Edgardo in LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR with Dicapo Opera Theatre, and Alfred in DIE FLEDERMAUS with Central City Opera. Concert highlights have included appearances with the Colorado Symphony at the Red Rocks Amphitheater, Concert performances with the renowned Dusseldorf Symphony Orchestra and as a guest artist for the live PBS telecast at the GEORGIA MUSIC HALL OF FAME AWARDS with Trisha Yearwood and The B-52s. Other roles have included Nemorino in L'ELISIR D'AMORE, Pinkerton in MADAMA BUTTERFLY, Ruggero in LA RONDINE, Rinuccio in GIANNI SCHICCHI, Valere in TARTUFFE, Edward in PATIENCE AND SARAH, and Andrew in A DEATH IN THE FAMILY. Emmanuel majored in voice at the Manhattan School of Music where he was a full tuition scholar. Emmanuel has a wife and two young boys ages 7 and 3. -

Stupid keyboard, I.
Hey handsome, happy fortieth! Wish I could be in Poland celebrating with you!
Break a freakin' leg tonight! I love you!
DAMN IT! I tried to upload Dein ist mein ganzes Herz but it didn't take. What is up with MySpace?!
Anyway, I miss you and I can't wait to see you (hopefully) in Dec. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow. Love you.
Even though you never, EVER check this thing anymore (cuz you're always out traveling, dear MannySpace viewers) Happy Halloween, anyway, wish you could be here to go trick-or-treating with the boys! They miss you (and so do I).
Love you, miss you. BOO!!!
One more week. Man that just sucks.
"To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
Author:Ralph Waldo Emerson
Have a wonderful weekend and find beauty and laughter everywhere!
Much love,
Roni
