René Barbera

Mr. Barbera was the first-ever sole recipient of all three top awards of the Operalia Competition in 2011 and the winner of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions in 2008. A highlight this season includes Rossini’s Il Barbiere di Siviglia/Count Almaviva at Teatro dell’Opera di Roma. He sings Fenton in Verdi’s Falstaff at Teatro La Fenice di Venezia and later the title role of Donizetti’s Roberto Devereux with Washington Concert Opera. He concludes the season with La Sonnambula/Elvino at Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège and then returns to the Metropolitan Opera as the Italian Singer in Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier.
