Acclaimed Maltese tenor Nico Darmanin has made his debut with top UK opera house Glyndebourne following another recent performance at London’s Royal Opera House. Nico has taken on the roles of Gastone and Alfredo and joined the Glyndebourne company on its ongoing 2018 tour of Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata. Bravo!

“Glyndebourne is one of the best opera companies in the world,” says Nico. “From the second I arrived, the company took care of me and truly made me feel like a super star! The music staff is unparalleled: I have had the opportunity to prepare the role of Alfredo with some of the best rep coaches in the world of Opera. Singing at Glyndebourne is one of the most prestigious opportunities an opera singer can have. It is truly a gem of a company. My experience here has been absolutely fantastic.” Seems like it's a home away from home!
