Tenor (lirico spinto)
Currently starring in Carmen as Don José · Wiener Staatsoper · Jun 8, 2026
De Tommaso's ascent from Royal Academy student to international tenor of the first rank was crystallized by his 2018 Francisco Viñas Competition victory and cemented by his breakthrough 2021 performance as Cavaradossi at the Royal Opera House, where he became the youngest tenor and first British performer in decades to sing the role on that stage. Since then, he has established himself as one of Europe's most sought-after interpreters of the Italian spinto repertoire, commanding the stages of the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, the Wiener Staatsoper, and the Bolshoi with a voice of unmistakable Italianate warmth and dramatic power.
First Prize, Plácido Domingo Tenor Prize, and Verdi Prize at the 55th Francisco Viñas International Singing Competition, Barcelona (2018); youngest tenor and first British performer since 1963 to sing Cavaradossi in Tosca at the Royal Opera House (2021)
Royal Academy of Music, London (graduated 2018); University of Bristol (attended 2011–2013, did not complete)
