TOMMASO MEDICA


 


 

His journey as a performer began with a concert in 1899 at the Teatro Garibaldi in Modica. By 1900, he was performing operatic roles, including Valentino in Faust and Enrico in Lucia di Lammermoor at the Teatro Storchi in Modena. In 1902, he appeared as Nevers in Les Huguenots at the Teatro Sociale in Crema, followed by a performance as Riccardo in I Puritani at the Teatro Bellini in Catania in 1903. In 1905, he moved to Paris, dedicating himself to a career in French opera.

His career continued into the 20th century, with notable roles such as Figaro in Il Barbiere di Siviglia and Enrico in Lucia di Lammermoor at the Teatro Sociale Breo in Mondovì in 1917. He also showcased his talent in concerts later in his career, performing at prestigious venues like the Istituto Ciechi (1921), the Milan Conservatory (February 1922), and the Scuola Commerciale in Milan (June 1922).
