audiences and critics alike
in Rigoletto at the Arena di Verona (under Renato Palumbo), where he was hailed asone of the most interesting interpreters on the current scene in the role of the Duke of Mantua. The same role took him to the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and to his debuts at “Teatro alla Scala” in Milan and at Los Angeles Opera (under James Conlon). As Rodolfo in La Bohème he has appeared at the “Teatro Comunale” in Florence, the Comunale in Bologna, the “Teatro Massimo” in Palermo, the “Teatro Regio” in Turin, Frankfurt Opera, the Puccini Festival at Torre del Lago and the Grand Theatre in Shanghai. Other roles for which he is particularly in demand are Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor (most recently in Florence, Frankfurt, Avenches, Turin and Venice), Alfredo in La traviata (Verona, Venice and Naples) and Tonio in La fille du régiment (in Trieste in the original French version, and in the Lombardy circuit in Italian). In 2010 he made a highly successful debut in the title role of Roberto Devereux at the Teatro dell’Opera in Rome . He then sang Rigoletto at Los Angeles Opera and at the “Teatro Regio” in Turin, and La Bohème and Lucia di Lammermoor at “Teatro La Fenice” in Venice.. Ha poi cantato Rigoletto alla Los Angeles Opera e al “Teatro Regio” di Torino, La Bohème e Lucia di Lammermoor al “Teatro La Fenice” di Venezia.
I puritani in the Lombardy opera circuit . He also sang Faust in La damnation de Faust in Palermo under Roberto Abbado in Terry Gilliam’s production, and Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor at the “Teatro San Carlo” in Naples in a production by Gianni Amelio , as well as Rodolfo in La Bohème at “Teatro La Fenice” in Venice. Of particular note was his appearance inLa traviata staged for the first edition of the international event “Opera on Sydney Harbour” , organised by Opera Australia; for his Alfredo he was nominated for a Helpmann Award as best male performer. In the most recent season he has sung Rigoletto at “Teatro La Fenice” in Venice, La traviata in Hong Kong, Lucia di Lammermoor in Jesi and La Bohème again in Sydney . He also played the title role in “Caruso, la voce dell’amore” with Vanessa Incontrada, directed by Stefano Reali (autumn 2012), a RAI film that was a worldwide success and made Gianluca Terranova one of the tenors best loved by international audiences., organizzato dall’Opera Australia. Per la sua interpretazione del ruolo di Alfredo è stato nominato per il premio ‘Helpmann award’, quale migliore artista maschile. Nell’ultima stagione ha interpretato Rigoletto al “Teatro La Fenice” di Venezia, La traviata ad Hong Kong, Lucia di Lammermoor a Jesi, ancora La bohème a Sydney. Si segnala, inoltre, la partecipazione come attore protagonista di “Caruso, La voce dell’amore” con Vanessa Incontrada per la regia di Stefano Reali (autunno 2012), film Rai che ha avuto un successo mondiale e che ha fatto di Gianluca Terranova uno dei tenori più amati dal pubblico internazionale.
Arena di Verona in Rigoletto, the latter under Riccardo Frizza. That autumn, at the “Teatro Regio” in Turin, he made his role debut as Gabriele Adorno in Verdi’s Simon Boccanegra under Gianandrea Noseda. The echo of his successin this new Verdi role reached Gianluigi Gelmetti, who engaged him for two Verdi productions at the “Teatro Verdi” in Trieste: the Messa da Requiem and Un ballo in maschera, which opened the theatre’s new opera season. In 2014 he starred in 20 performances of Rigoletto for Opera Australia under Renato Palumbo, followed by five more at the Teatro dell’Opera in Rome, confirming him as a Duke of Mantua of great stylistic, vocal and interpretative distinction. In 2015 he made his debut at the “Teatro Carlo Felice” in Genoa in Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor; some compared him to the great singers of the past, others praised his vocal beauty and musical taste. He returned to the Duke at the Opéra Royal de Wallonie in Liège, again under Palumbo and alongside the celebrated baritone Leo Nucci, and then sang La Bohème at the Grange Park summer festival, his debut in England . La Bohème also took him to the “Teatro San Carlo” in Naples, where audiences and critics recognised his gift for carrying an audience, helped by the popularity he had gained after thefilm Caruso — a film that broke the viewing records of 2012 (six million viewers in Italy alone and three million more worldwide). His Rodolfo also reached the United States, where audiences gave him a standing ovation every night and critics hailed him as a“first-rank artist” , and the major American houses began to take a serious interest in him., ricordiamo che questo film, ha superato i record di ascolto del 2012 (6 milioni di telespettatori solo in Italy e altri 3milioni nel mondo). Il “suo” Rodolfo arriva anche negli the United States dove il pubblico gli regala ogni sera una standing ovation, la critica lo consacra “Artista di primo livello” e i grandi di teatri americani cominciano ad interessarsi seriamente a lui.
to a triumph piena maturità tecnico-vocale che potrà esibire nella prossima stagione in occasione del debutto assoluto nel Don Carlo di Verdi (Deutsche Oper am Rehin-versione Italiana in 4 atti per la regia di Guy Joosten) e nella Norma di Bellini (Essen Opera nuova produzione). In questo anno ritorna a Liegi alla Royal Opera de Wallonie in La Boheme ottenendo un trionfo.
