Few french singers can claim to have made their stage debut at La Scala in Milan... but this will be the case with baritone Edwin Fardini, who will play the role of Paris (Gounod's Roméo et Juliette) in January and February, alongside soprano Diana Damrau, tenor Vittorio Grigolo and French bass Frédéric Caton (role of Capulet).
The rest of his season also shows a beautiful precocity since he will also be found at the prestigious Glyndebourne Festival, for the roles of the Second Commissioner (Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites) and the Second Prisoner (Beethoven's Fidelio), after singing Kurt Weil's Seven Deadly Sins at the Théâtre du Châtelet in the spring.
Closer to now, we will have the pleasure of hearing him in a repertoire he particularly likes, since he will perform the solo bass part of Johannes Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem at the Cité Musicale de Saintes, under the direction of Raphaël Pichon.
A Classical revelation of ADAMI 2019 and a recent laureate of the CNSMD in Paris, where he studied in the singing class of Élène Golgvit, Edwin Fardini recently performed Schumann's Manfred with the Orchestre de Paris conducted by Daniel Harding and this same Deutsches Requiem, with the Webern Symphony Orchestra and the Orchestre du Conservatoire de Paris conducted by Patrick Davin.
He participated in the Pinocchio Residence of the 2017 edition of the Academy of the Aix-en-Provence International Opera Festival, for which he worked as a musical cover for the World Premiere of the eponymous opera by composer Philippe Boesmans and playwright Joël Pommerat.
