BIO

​Gaetano Bonfante was born in Australia to Italian parents. Having grown up in his father's fruit shop in one of Sydney’s Italian Suburbs, surrounded by beautiful Italian produce,  popular Italian movies, classic Neapolitan Songs, and every dialect imaginable, a healthy passion for the Operatic art form seemed only natural.

​

Gaetano’s operatic roles include Tamino (Die Zauberfloter), Belmonte (Die Entführung aus dem Serail), Alfredo (La Traviata), Rodolfo (La Boheme) and was a principle on the concert platform for the Angeli Custodi Company in Lucca (Italy), Puccini’s home town.

​

All of this lead him to seek and experience the world of Music and storytelling from behind the curtains, travelling all over the world in search of a technique that would allow him to do justice to the music he sings, but most importantly, convey the stories and bring the poetry carried by the music to life.
