Paolo

paolo buffagni

Born in Modena, Italy--home of some of opera’s finest voices--Paolo Buffagni began his professional career as an actor in film and TV, having studied at the Accademia d’Arte Drammatica Antoniana in Bologna. Basing himself in Rome, he toured for five years in acting roles with the Compagnia Italiana di Operette, before moving to New York. It was in New York that Paolo discovered his passion—and talent—for opera. In 2006, he made his New York debut at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center.
The years since have seen him maintain an active performance schedule with numerous opera companies in cities throughout the United States. Praised for the authenticity of his classic "verismo" tone, he has sung the lead tenor roles in some of the most famous operas such as Tosca, Gianni Schicchi, La boheme, Madama Butterfly, La fanciulla del West, Turandot, Traviata, Aida, Rigoletto, Poliuto, Lucia di Lammermoor, Cavalleria rusticana, I pagliacci, La Gioconda, and Il trovatore.
