Established as one of the world's leading Italian tenors, Vittorio Grigolo is renowned for his soaring voice, his handsome stage presence and his great success as an opera star, performing with The Metropolitan Opera, Los Angeles Opera, La Scala and more. He's also appeared on hit television shows including Dancing with the Stars and Good Morning America. Throughout his career, an integral part of his operatic success has been in French operas. His extraordinary international breakthrough came in the role of Des Grieux in Massenet's Manon at the Royal Opera House in 2010 where he astounded audiences and critics. The next year found Grigolo performing key French repertoire including the title role in Faust and Romeo et Juliette. His new album, THE ROMANTIC HERO, is Vittorio's first album of all French repertoire and explores the big romantic arias that suit his voice and temperament perfectly. Guest artists on the album include stellar new soprano Sonya Yoncheva on Romeo et Juliette and actress Alessandra Martines reciting the opening lines from Les Contes d'Hoffmann aria.
