Giuseppe Annunziato is a stentorian baritone on the horizon of an exciting new career path. Having enjoyed noteworthy success as a full lyric tenor, he has recently transformed himself into a burnished, robust baritone capable of performing the uniquely challenging Verdi and verismo baritone repertoire. This includes such roles as Conte di Luna in Il trovatore, Ezio in Attila, Renato in Un ballo in maschera, Valentin in Faust, and Germont in La traviata, among others.

An extremely versatile artist who is consistently re-engaged wherever he appears, Giuseppe has performed to enthusiastic response with Maryland Lyric Opera, the Metropolitan Opera Guild, the Lyric Opera Studio Weimar (Germany), Bronx Opera, Opera Theater of Pittsburgh, Capitol City Opera, UGA Opera Theatre, and the New York Opera Exchange. As a Resident Artist, he worked with Detroit Opera (formerly Michigan Opera Theatre) under the artistic direction of internationally acclaimed tenor Richard Leech and the late opera impresario Dr. David DiChiera.

Also a sought-after concert soloist and recitalist, Giuseppe made his auspicious Carnegie Hall debut in 2013 with MasterVoices (formerly the Collegiate Chorale) and the American Symphony Orchestra. He has also performed at the White House, David Geffen Hall (formerly Avery Fisher Hall), Salone Pedrotti at the Rossini Conservatory, Teatro Titano (San Marino), Sant’Agnese in the Piazza Navona (Rome, Italy), the Stefaniensaal (Graz, Austria), Theater im Schlossgarten (Arnstadt, Germany), the New York State Theater, and Symphony Space in New York. With such organizations as the Rockland County Choral Society of New York, the Montgomery Philharmonic, Orchestra Nepal, the American and Detroit Symphony Orchestras, Giuseppe has presented various song cycles and concert pieces, and premiered new works by Michèal Fiacc, Gilda Lyons, and Mitchell Bach, to name a few.

He has collaborated with such celebrated conductors as Louis Salemno, Karen Kamensek, Imre Palló, Robert Lyall, Stephen Lord, Joseph Rescigno, David Charles Abell, Valerio Galli, and James Meena, as well as Kathryn Wright, Kathleen Kelly, Martin Katz, Elaine Rinaldi, Timothy Cheek, and the late Joan Krueger. Of further note, Giuseppe has performed the U.S. national anthem for the San Francisco Giants.

A native New Yorker, Giuseppe earned his Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Georgia, with a dissertation on selected vocal works of Giovanni Paolo Bottesini. He is a proud graduate of the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts and holds an undergraduate degree from the Conservatory of Music at SUNY Purchase, where he studied double bass with the principal bassist of the New York Philharmonic, Timothy Cobb. As a vocalist, he was a student of Frederick Burchinal and William Stone, and currently studies with Alexandra LoBianco.
