Stefano La Colla is an Italian tenor who has given recitals and performed in opera internationally.

Biography

La Colla was born in Turin, but lived in Alcamo between the ages of 12 and 23. He started his studies at the Conservatorio Pietro Mascagni in Livorno and trained under the guide of the soprano Luciana Serra and later with the baritone Carlo Meliciani.

In 2002 he won a scholarship at the Accademia d’alto Perfezionamento del Repertorio Pucciniano of Torre del Lago, where he attended its courses with Magda Olivero, Katia Ricciarelli and Raina Kabaivanska. Afterwards he performed with Katia Ricciarelli at the Teatro Verdi of Pisa in a gala event organized by the Rotary Club.

He debutted in July 2006 in Madama Butterfly in the role of di Pinkerton during the summer festival of Fontanellato (Parma), and replicated in October in Reggio Emilia. In the following November he debutted in Nabucco, in the role of Ismaele in Mantova. In July 2007 he had his debut in Aida, as Radames, at the festival Openair in Narni (TR) and during the summer, he held concerts for the Associazione Medici Giuluni for the review of “Musica nelle Ville Versiliesi”, at Forte dei Marmi (LU). He also took part in the recording of Bianca and Fernando by RAI at the Teatro Massimo Bellini in Catania under the direction of Maestro Carella.

In December 2007 he gave a concert at Museo Poldi Pezzoli of Milan for six harps and solo voice. In 2008 he gave concerts in Europe and in Japan with Fondazione Arena di Verona. On 10 November 2008, at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome, he gave a concert together with Luciana Serra. He replicated Aida on 8 December at Teatro Goldoni (Livorno).

After that he continued his artistic experience in the traditional theatres of Italian cities such as Novara, Savona, Chieti, Reggio Emilia, Pisa, Lucca, Livorno, Busseto and Brescia.

His international career started in 2011 with Turandot in Ratisbon (where he made his debut with 16 recitals), then in Dortmund, Leipzig, Saint Petersburg, St. Gallen, Zagabria, and Bucarest. In 2014 he performed in some of the great European opera houses in Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Amsterdam, Oslo, Dresden and Vienna. In Italy he performed in Rome, Naples and Verona, and several times at Teatro alla Scala in Milan, where in 2015 he had a prestigious debut as Calaf in Turandot (opening event of La Scala for EXPO), under the direction of Riccardo Chailly. After this great success, he was invited again for the following production, Cavalleria Rusticana (as Turiddu).
