Angelo Moretti

Angelo Moretti is a Canadian-Italian tenor, born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. Angelo’s voice and stage presence led him to embrace many opportunities and successes at a young age, notably winning the hit Canadian TV Show, “The Next Star: Supergroup” with his pop band in 2014. His closeness with his Italian roots fuelled his interest and passion for opera and the traditions that define it. Opera resonated with him from the outset, and he began his passionate pursuit of the art, notably after hearing the great operatic voices on vinyl records and studying with the soprano Cindy Townsend, former student of the late Lois Marshall.
Angelo Moretti made his professional debut in 2022 with the Opéra de Montréal, performing as Ruiz in Verdi’s Il Trovatore and as the Teapot in L’Enfant et les sortilèges with the Atelier lyrique in collaboration with the Orchestre de l’Agora.
In the first stages of his career, Moretti also performed as Count Almaviva in the University of Toronto Opera’s inaugural production of Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia and as Martin in Aaron Copland’s The Tender Land. In the summer of 2022, Moretti joined the cast of Dean Burry’s The Bells of Baddeck in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, where he sang the role of Lieutenant Thomas Selfridge, further expanding his repertoire.
During the 2023–2024 season, Moretti expanded his presence on the Canadian opera scene with mainstage roles at the Opéra de Montréal. These roles included Don Basilio and Don Curzio in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro, Alfredo (cover) and Gastone in Verdi’s La Traviata. He also performed as Nemorino in Donizetti’s L'elisir d'amore with the Orchestre symphonique de Drummondville and Remendado in Bizet’s Carmen with the Orchestre symphonique de Trois-Rivières.
Looking ahead to the 2024–2025 season, Angelo Moretti will perform as the tenor soloist in Handel’s Messiah with the Orchestre Classique de Montreal at St. Joseph’s Oratory. He will also return to the Opéra de Montréal to take on the title role of Tito in Mozart’s La clemenza di Tito, Parpignol in Puccini’s La Bohème and will reprise his role as the Teapot in Ravel’s L’Enfant et les sortilèges, along with the additional roles of L’Arithmétique and La Rainette.
Angelo continues to find motivation in creating art that allows the listener to experience a sense of nostalgia; whether that be through an aria on the operatic stage, or an Italian folk song in intimate venues such as living rooms or backyards.
