Career Trajectory
Trained in Lucca and at the prestigious Academy of La Scala under the guidance of Leyla Gencer and Luciana Serra, Cavalletti made his professional debut in 2004 and quickly established himself as a leading interpreter of the Italian lyric-baritone repertoire. His 2005 La Scala debut as Schaunard in La bohème catalyzed a career spanning the world's foremost opera houses, where his rich baritone voice and dramatic intelligence have made him particularly celebrated in Rossini's lyric-coloratura roles and the Verdi canon. Now firmly established as an international principal, he continues to command major roles across Europe and beyond.
