Grigolo was born in [[Arezzo]] and raised in Rome. He began singing by the age of four. When he was nine years old he accompanied his mother to have her eyes tested and, hearing someone singing from another room, he spontaneously began his own rendition of "Ave Maria". The singer, the optician's father, was so impressed that he insisted Grigolo have an audition for the [[Sistine Chapel Choir]] as soon as possible. Young Vittorio was chosen to become part of Sistine Chapel Choir as a soloist. He then studied for five years at the [[Schola Puerorum]] at the [[Sistine Chapel]]. At age 13 he played the Pastorello in a performance of ''[[Tosca]]'' at [[Teatro dell'Opera di Roma]], where he shared the stage with [[Luciano Pavarotti]] and was given the nickname 'Il Pavarottino'.{{citation needed|date=April 2012}} When 18, Vittorio joined the [[Vienna Opera Company]].

Vittorio Grigolo (correctly Vittorio Grigòlo, born 19 February 1977) is an Italian operatic tenor.

Early life

[edit]

Grigolo was born in Arezzo and raised in Rome. He began singing by the age of four. When he was nine years old he accompanied his mother to have her eyes tested and, hearing someone singing from another room, he spontaneously began his own rendition of "Ave Maria". The singer, the optician's father, was so impressed that he insisted Grigolo have an audition for the Sistine Chapel Choir as soon as possible. Young Vittorio was chosen to become part of Sistine Chapel Choir as a soloist.[1] He then studied for five years at the Schola Puerorum at the Sistine Chapel. At age 13 he played the Pastorello in a performance of Tosca at Teatro dell'Opera di Roma,[1] where he shared the stage with Luciano Pavarotti. He became the youngest man to perform in Milan's La Scala at age 23.[1]

Grigolo made his debut at the Royal Opera House in 2010 as Des Grieux in Manon, going on to sing Faust, the Duke in Rigoletto, Rodolfo in La bohème, Nemorino in L'elisir d'amore, Werther, and Cavaradossi in Tosca.[2] In August 2013 he took part in the first “Concert de Paris” on the Champ de Mars, performing before more than 800,000 spectators.[1]

He made his role debut as Manrico in Il Trovatore in Barcelona in November 2021 and "commanded the stage".[3]
