Tenor: management agency for tenors
meOpera represents tenors, the highest male voice and the one most loved by audiences, guiding them toward theatres, festivals and presenters around the world.
The tenor is the highest male voice and has always been the one on which the audience's anticipation concentrates: it is the voice of the lover, of the hero, of the high note that brings the house down. meOpera is the management agency that represents tenors, highlights their vocal identity and connects them with those who programme opera across the major international circuits.
What is the tenor
The tenor is the male voice with the highest range. The operatic tradition distinguishes several types: tenore di grazia or light tenor, lyric tenor, lyric-spinto and dramatic tenor, as well as the bel canto tenore contraltino and the Heldentenor of the Wagnerian repertoire. Each has its own weight, colour and tessitura.
It is the voice that audiences instinctively associate with the protagonist: the ring of the high note, the impassioned vocal line and the ardent expressiveness make it the voice of passion and heroism on the operatic stage.
How meOpera represents tenors
meOpera supports tenors with a transparent, non-exclusive model: we shape the artistic presentation — multilingual biography, materials, roster profile — and bring the voice to the attention of theatres, festivals and presenters. Live auditions allow direct listening by those who select the casts.
We do not promise engagements: we create the conditions for talent to be noticed. We give guidance on repertoire suited to the voice's maturation and offer an international network of contacts cultivated over the years.
Typical tenor repertoire
The tenor repertoire ranges from the bel canto of Nemorino in L'elisir d'amore and Count Almaviva in The Barber of Seville, to the great Verdi roles — the Duke of Mantua in Rigoletto, Alfredo in La Traviata, Radamès in Aida, Manrico in Il Trovatore — through to Rodolfo in La Bohème, Cavaradossi in Tosca and Pinkerton in Puccini's Madama Butterfly, and the dramatic and Wagnerian repertoire. The vocal type guides the choice of titles for each tenor.
