Spring Guest Series: Jack LiVigni

Bel Canto Boot Camp's Guest Series kicks off welcoming acclaimed tenor and teacher Jack Li Vigni. Jack will join us for a discussion of his teaching approaches and demonstrate exercises which we will try as a group and individually, as desired. Depending on time and number of attendees, there may be the opportunity for some singers to offer arias or portions of arias individually for Jack's input.

Sicilian tenor Gioacchino Lauro (Jack) Li Vigni has performed at top international venues, including the Metropolitan Opera, Oper Frankfurt, Dutch National Opera, L’Opéra de Marseille, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Concertgebouw, Beijing Opera, Sao Paolo Opera, and others. Trained by his father, celebrated tenor Salvatore Li Vigni, as well as Carlo Bergonzi, Arrigo Pola, Salvatore Fisichella, and others, he is a voice instructor for the prestigious Jette Parker Young Artists Programme at the Royal Opera House (Covent Garden).

His students have performed on every major operatic stage and recorded for major record labels. Many are recent winners and finalists at major competitions such as Operalia, BBC Cardiff Singer of the World, and the Tenor Viñas International Singing Competition. They have attended young artists programs at Covent Garden, Bayerische Staatsoper, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Komische Oper Berlin, Theater an der Wien, Oper Frankfurt, and Staatsoper Stuttgart.

Mr. Li Vigni is the founder and general director of the Mediterranean Opera Studio and Festival in Sicily, which provides a platform for the development of young artists.

Mr. Li Vigni joined the adjunct faculty of the Curtis Institute of Music in 2019.
