“meraviglioso legato” (Giornale del Lazio)
“un cantante di qualità eccezionale” (Radio Televisione Svizzera)
Born in Naples, Mariano Buccino cultivated his passion for music from an early age, joining a children’s choir while learning to play the piano. Thanks to his dedication, he soon excelled in his singing and composition studies, graduating cum laude from the prestigious San Pietro a Majella Conservatory in Naples. His thirst for knowledge led him to Rome, where he honed his skills at the Opera Studio of the Accademia di Santa Cecilia under the expert supervision of Renata Scotto.
His career took a decisive turn in 2015 when, at the age of 28, Mariano became a finalist at the 53rd Voci Verdiane International Singing Competition in Busseto. This success paved the way for further victories, such as the 7th City of Ravello International Singing Competition and the 65th International Singing Competition ‘AsLiCo’, which allowed him to perform important roles such as Il commendatore in the production of Mozart’s Don Giovanni, directed by Graham Vick for Opera Lombardia.
Mariano has in his repertoire important roles for bass, such as Silva (Ernani), Enrico VIII (Anna Bolena), Raimondo (Lucia di Lammermoor), Oroveso (Norma), Don Basilio (Il Barbiere di Siviglia), Sparafucile (Rigoletto), Ferrando (Il Trovatore), Re & Ramfis (Aida), Colline (La Bohème), Timur (Turandot), Gennaro Iovine (Napoli Milionaria), Orbazzano (Tancredi), and Il Commendatore (Don Giovanni).
He has graced the stages of illustrious theatres such as Teatro Massimo di Palermo, Teatro Petruzzelli di Bari, Teatro Carlo Felice di Genova, Teatro Lirico di Cagliari, andTeatro Municipale di Piacenza, among others. His talent has also taken him beyond Italy's borders, with international performances at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona, the Sarasota Opera in Florida, the Israeli Opera in Tel Aviv, the Croatian National Theatre Ivan pl. Zajc in Rijeka, the Malmö Opera and the Musikfest in Bremen.
Important concert performances include his work in Verdi's Messa da Requiem in memory of the victims of Hiroshima, Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle and Dvorak's Stabat Mater.
His future projects include roles such as Raimondo in Lucia di Lammermoor in Zaragoza, and his debut at the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples in the roles of Ashby in La Fanciulla del West and Sir Gualtiero Raleigh in Roberto Devereaux.
His discography also includes, among other recordings, Lucia di Lammermoor (Raimondo) on the DECCA label.
