Biography

RAFFAELE PIERNO – NEAPOLITAN TENOR
Born in Naples, Italy (in the same street as the legendary Tenor “Enrico Caruso”) Raffaele start singing at very young age, as teenager he entertained people performing in local trattorias, where he was discovered just like “Caruso” by his future voice coach. His highly successful debut was a tribute concert to the greatest tenor of all time “Enrico Caruso”, which took place in their birth city (Naples). As a student of the Ancient Italian school of singing (La vecchia scuola Italiana di canto), Raffaele studied very passionately for seven ye ... ars, with the baritone maestro “Antonio Finizio”, from Teatro Reale “San Carlo” of Naples, a very close associate of another great tenor of the past “Mario del Monaco”. At conservatorio Domenico Cimarosa di Avellino, Raffaele graduated with a diploma di canto (ramo cantanti), in collaboration with “Pia Ferrara” (soprano) and president of “centro incontri musicali” di Napoli.
After graduating, his career moved forward quickly and Raffaele immediately became a singer of choice for public festivals and celebrations, not only in Naples, but all around Italy.

In Australasia, he was a popular Concert Soloist with The Hunan Province Symphony Orchestra (China) as well as in Australian Capitals, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, where he also appeared and performed in many prominent places.
Ironically, it was the cardinal and mayor of Naples who invited him to give a recital of Neapolitan Songs and Sacred Music, in the 700 year old Duomo of “San Gennaro” in Naples, one of the world’s most famous architectural structures. To this day, Raffaele considers one of his career highlights to be giving a recital for la fondazione “Pasquale di Costanzo” in the forum at Pompei near Naples. In the past years, Raffaele developed a wonderful show called “Sogno d’Italia” (Dream of Italy) in collaboration with the Internatinal acclaimed singer “Leslie Martin – Nightingale” (Soprano).

In particular the Neapolitan Classic and traditional melodies in original Language and much more, in collaboration with various International and local Artists.
