New Rochelle Opera's 30th Anniversary Spring Gala

This year, in honor of NRO's 30th anniversary, we are thrilled to honor Metropolitan Opera bass Ferruccio Furlanetto.

Ferruccio Furlanetto's amazing international career began with the role of King Philip II in Verdi's Don Carlo at the Salzburg Easter Festival under the baton of Herbert von Karajan in 1986. In the same year he debuted at the Salzburg Summer Festival with the role of Figaro in Mozart's opera. His debuts on the leading opera stages happened earlier: Teatro alla Scala (1979), Metropolitan Opera (1980), Vienna State Opera (1985). He has collaborated with all leading orchestras and conductors and performs in concerts and recitals at the leading world's concert halls, in the repertory ranging from Verdi's Requiem to Russian songsand Schubert's Winterreise.

Mr. Furlanetto feels equally at home at many opera houses such as La Scala Milan, the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, the Vienna State Opera, the Opera National de Paris, and the New York Metropolitan Opera as well in Rome, Turin, Florence, Bologna, Palermo, Buenos Aires, Los Angeles, San Diego, Teatro Real Madrid, the San Diego Opera, the Canadian Opera in Toronto, Suntory Hall in Tokyo and Moscow.

In the seasons to come he will be appearing again in many productions at the Met, at the Lyric Opera Chicago, The Sydney Opera House, la Scala, the Vienna State Opera, the Royal Opera Covent Garden, the Salzbourg Festival, the Musiklverein, as well as in recitals and concerts.

Ferruccio Furlanetto is Honorary Ambassador to the United Nations as well as Kammersänger and Honorary Member of the Vienna State Opera.
