Francesco Anile: A Maestro of Italian Opera
Humble Beginnings in CalabriaBorn on February 12, 1962, in the small Calabrian town of Polistena, Francesco Anile embarked on his musical journey at the Conservatory of Reggio Calabria, studying both clarinet and singing. He honed his craft further under the tutelage of baritone Aldo Protti in Cremona and tenor Ottavio Taddei in Florence.
Early Accolades and Renowned Collaborations
Anile's talent was recognized early on, earning him top prizes in national competitions such as the "Grandi Voci Toscane" and "M. Del Monaco." He also participated in masterclasses led by legendary soprano Renata Scotto at the Verdi Opera Festival in Parma. Throughout his career, Anile has collaborated with renowned conductors, including Nello Santi, Massimo Pradella, and Stefano Ranzani.
A Versatile Repertoire
Anile's repertoire encompasses a wide range of operatic roles, from the lyrical Pinkerton in "Madama Butterfly" to the dramatic Otello. He is particularly celebrated for his powerful and nuanced performances as Calaf in "Turandot," Cavaliere Des Grieux in "Manon Lescaut," Pollione in "Norma," and Otello.
Mastery of Verdi's Masses
Beyond opera, Anile has also established himself as a master interpreter of Verdi's "Messa di Requiem," Puccini's "Messa di Gloria," and Bizet's "Messe à S. Cecile." His vocal prowess and deep understanding of these sacred works have earned him critical acclaim.
A Rich and Evolving Voice
In recent years, Anile's voice has matured, allowing him to seamlessly transition into more lyrical-dramatic roles. His performances are characterized by their intensity and emotional depth, particularly in the dramatic climaxes.
A Maestro of the Stage
Anile's collaborations with acclaimed stage directors, such as Roberto De Simone and Henning Brockhaus, have brought his performances to life on some of the world's most prestigious opera stages, including Teatro Massimo in Palermo and Teatro di San Carlo in Naples.
