Young Italian tenor Matteo Roma is currently one of the most promising interpreters in the lyrical field. He is particularly sought after for roles in works by Gioachino Rossini and the young Verdi.

He made his debut as Prunier in Puccini's "La Rondine" and Zorzeto in Wolf-Ferrari's "Il campiello" at the Teatro Filarmonico in Verona. Additionally, he performed as Ismaele in Verdi's "Nabucco" in Paris.

Matteo has been a welcome guest at the Rossini Festival in Pesaro, performing as Conte di Libenskof in "Il viaggio a Reims " in 2019 and Aufide in "Moses and Pharaoh" in 2020. At Teatro La Fenice, he has performed Edoardo Milfort in "La cambiale di matrimonio," Lord Cecil in Donizetti's "Roberto Devereux" in October 2020, and most recently, appeared in Verdi's "Don Carlo."
