Saverio Clemente Andrea De Amici Luca Targetti Sicilian tenor with a rich and extensive voice, remarkable scenic qualities and an extremely versatile repertoire, Enea Scala is now considered a reference name in the Belcanto baritenor repertoire. After graduating from classical studies, he studied singing at the Conservatory of Bologna and later he specialized with Fernando Cordeiro Opa with whom he is still working. Since his debut in Bologna in 2006 he has ranged from Mozart (Così fan tutte, Don Giovanni, La finta giardiniera) to brilliant Rossini, the Italian Belcanto, works such as Il cappello di paglia di Firenze, L'heure espagnole, L’amico Fritz, Die Fledermaus, La Juive/Leopold to get to his first Verdi titles (Falstaff and Traviata). In the belcanto repertoire beyond Bellini (Sonnambula, Zaira, Puritani, Adelson e Salvini) he is particularly interested in exploring the vast Donizetti’s repertoire (from Don Pasquale, Elisir, Convenienze teatrali to Caterina Cornaro, Lucia di Lammermoor, Maria Stuarda, Le Duc d'Albe). A close relationship links him to Rossini: after a debut in the brilliant genre (Italiana, Barbiere, Cenerentola, Il viaggio a Reims/Belfiore, Pietra del paragone) and the experience in Guillaume Tell (both as Arnoldo/Arnolde and Roudi) he reached now his repertoire of choice, starting with Armida/Rinaldo, later with Ermione/Pilade e Pirro and recently with Tancredi, Mosè in Egitto, Semiramide and La donna del lago/Rodrigo.
