About Francesco Meli

Tenor Francesco Meli has appeared in top houses around Italy, Western Europe, and the U.S. His specialties lie squarely in the tradition of Italian Romantic opera. Meli made his professional debut in 2002 at the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto. Soon after that, he made his debut at Milan's La Scala opera house under conductor Riccardo Muti in Poulenc's Les Dialogues des Carmelites. Meli made his recording debut in 2007, appearing opposite soprano Natalie Dessay in a performance of Bellini's La sonnambula. Verdi's operas have made up a substantial part of his repertory. Cavaradossi in Puccini's Tosca has been another specialty; he sang that role opposite Anna Netrebko's Tosca and also on tour in Japan in 2021. Meli was heard on a 2022 live recording with the Orchestra e Coro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino in Verdi's Ernani that was issued in 2024.
