“One of the foremost singers of his generation” (Limelight 2002), ARIA Award-nominated baritone David Greco is internationally regarded for his recordings of Schubert and Bach. He has sung on some of the finest stages across Europe and appeared in celebrated opera festivals including Festival d’Aix-en-Provence and Glyndebourne Festival Opera. In 2012 he became the first Australian to be appointed a position with the Sistine Chapel Choir in the Vatican, Rome. Most recently David received acclaim for his interpretation of Britten’s War Requiem with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, followed soon after by Verdi’s Requiem in the Sydney Opera House with Sydney Philharmonia. In 2020 David received his PhD in 19th century Historical Voice entitled “Waking the Dead Diva: Recovering the Expressive Sound World of Forgotten 19th Century Singers” which led to the first Australian recordings of Schubert’s complete song cycles Winterreise and Die schöne Müllerin, the latter disk receiving an ARIA nomination for Best Classical Album. His recording of Schubert’s Schwanengesang is due for release with ABC Classic in Autumn, 2025. Recent performances included a recital of Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin with acclaimed early keyboardist Chad Kelly at Melbourne Recital Centre, Durufle’s Requiem with Sydney Symphony and Messiah with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and with Dutch-based ensemble Luthers Bach Ensemble in the Netherlands. 2025 highlights include the role of Papageno in The Magic Flute with State Opera South Australia, Mozart Mass in C-Minor with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. In April he will tour with acclaimed Australian Haydn Ensemble in the orchestrated songs of Schubert. David is faculty member of both Sydney Conservatorium of Music & Melbourne Conservatorium of Music Vocal Departments. www.davidgreco.info
