The Bel Canto style, with its silvery evenness of tone and displays of vocal agility and brilliance, heightens the beauty of so many favorite opera arias. Tenor Christian Miola, with Alberto Busettini accompanying on harpsichord and piano, takes the audience on a glorious Bel Canto journey through the ages, performing works by Monteverdi, Caccini, Mozart, Rossini and more. Alberto Busettini will complement the arias with several lavish pieces for solo harpsichord.

He graduated in voice at the Jacopo Tomadini Conservatory of Udine, studying with the baritone M. Lippi. For over ten years he has followed master studies of Bel Canto in Rome with Maestro Alessandro Patalini, baritone and expert in vocal physiology and development.
Christian attended the Rockwell Blake tenor masterclass held in Turin (June, 2015) and the ‘Belcanto in Practice!’ masterclass with instructors F. Fussi, A.M. Errico, G. Tangucci, and G. Lomassi (July, 2015).
Over the years, Christian has given concerts and recitals of opera arias and sacred music in Italy, Austria, Hungary and the Netherlands, and performed as solo tenor with orchestras and choirs, as in the Requiem KV 626 for choir and orchestra by W.A. Mozart in collaboration with the Accademia d’Archi Arrigoni and the T. Schippers Orchestra.
In 2021 and 2022 Christian sang in Henry Purcell’s ‘Dido and Aeneas’, performing in the Altoliventina Chapel with the San Marco Baroque Orchestra of Pordenone.
