Boris Carmeli

One of the truly outstanding performers in the international music world today, Boris Carmeli has made his musical studies in Milan and Rome (he is an excellent pianist and speaks seven languages fluently), and was discovered by the late great Maestro Tullio Serafin, who first brought him to La Scala Opera House in Milan.
With a repertoire of over seventy operas and eighty oratorios, Mr Carmeli’s credits are as distinguished as they are lengthy. Suffice it to mention that he has appeared regularly in the major opera houses in the world, and is one of the most requested singers at international festivals.
He has appeared with the Los Angeles and New York Philharmonics under Zubin Mehta, with the Berlin Philharmonic under Sir Yehudi Menuhin, and sang Ivan the Terrible with the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Riccardo Mutti at Carnegie Hall in New York. At the Israel Festival under the direction of Zubin Mehta he sang in Samson and Dalilah; with Giulini The Italian Woman in Algiers and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, and under Bertini The Barber of Seville and The Rake`s Progress.
Boris Carmeli frequently appears on Italian television and has starred in many operatic pictures, such as Puccini’s Turandot with Birgit Nilsson and La Scala in Milan, The Life of Puccini and Rossini’s La Scala di Seta. He also sang the European première of Penderecki’s Paradise Lost conducted by the composer at La Scala, and at the Vatican for John Paul II.
