Renato Dolcini - baritone
Born in Milano in 1985,
he studied singing under Vincenzo Manno (Accademia del Teatro alla
Scala and Civica Scuola di Musica Claudio Abbado) and musicology at the
Pavia University, where he graduated magna cum laude in 2012. He was
admitted twice to the Gstaad Vocal Academy (2009, 2010), where he had
the opportunity to specialize with Cecilia Bartoli. Since 2010, he has
furthered his studies in the baroque repertoire with Roberta
Invernizzi. He participated in the 2nd edition of the Accademia
Monteverdiana directed by Sir John Eliot Gardiner. Among his
appearances: Conte Robinson in Cimarosa’s Il matrimonio segreto

Dal Verme, Milan), Figaro in Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia
(Teatro Ruggeri, Guastalla) and Don Alfonso in Mozart’s Così fan tutte (Opera
de Tenerife, Spain). He earned praise from both critics and audience
for his interpretations in Cavalli’s L’Eritrea
and Caldara’s Dafne,
both with the Teatro La Fenice in Venice and Stefano Montanari
conducting. He just took part in the new production of L’Orfeo
by Luigi Rossi at the Opéra National de Lorraine in Nancy
