Award-winning Italian maestro Riccardo Frizza is a galvanic presence on the podium, inspiring performances as exhilarating as they are expressive. Championed by Alberto Zedda, Bruno Cagli, and Gian Carlo Menotti, he is a leading exponent of bel canto repertoire, collaborating with a who's who of today's most iconic singers at opera houses from Milan's Teatro alla Scala to the Metropolitan Opera in New York. In the concert hall, he graces the podiums of such world-class ensembles as the Leipzig Gewandhaus, Rome's Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, London's Philharmonia Orchestra, and the Tokyo Symphony, while his extensive discography includes Decca's Una furtiva lagrima, winner of the 2004 Cannes Classical Award.
