Palermo native Vincenzo La Scola studied with Arrigo Pola, Carlo Bergonzi and Rodolfo Celletti. Shortly after his stage debut at the Teatro Regio in Parma he was invited to Italy's leading opera houses, including Bologna, Venice, Genova, Naples and Torino. He launched his international career in 1985 as Nemorino in Donizetti's "L'elisir d'amore" at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels, after which he began accepting engagements in Europe's leading musical centers: London, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Zürich, Vienna and Lisbon. After La Scola's sensational 1988 debut at Milan's La Scala, Riccardo Muti hired him for a major tour to Japan and the former Soviet Union with the Scala ensemble. La Scola ranks among the world's most sought-after tenors of today. When he is not on the world's opera stages, La Scola is singing on the concert podium, for instance performing Verdi's "Messa da Requiem" or various recital programms. At the personal invitation of the Italian State President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, he took part in the traditional New Year's concert in Rome in 2002 and 2003. In January 2005 the artist made two debuts: his first Manrico in "Il trovatore" at the Teatro Verdi in Busseto, and his directing debut as well. La Scola's discography comprises many operas and classical Italian songs on CDs and DVDs, as well as recordings of popular music, including one with the famous pop singer Cliff Richard and another with an original program featuring songs and texts as an homage to Mario Lanza, a program he has performed on several concert stages.
