Angelo Moretti is a Canadian-Italian tenor, born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. Early on, his voice and stage presence led to exciting opportunities, most notably winning the hit Canadian TV show The Next Star: Supergroup with his pop band in 2014. While his musical beginnings were rooted in contemporary styles, a deep connection to his Italian heritage soon pulled him toward opera. Hearing the legendary voices of the operatic greats on vinyl sparked a passion that quickly took hold, and his formal training began under soprano Cindy Townsend, a former student of the late Lois Marshall.

​

It was this combination of early performance experience and a heartfelt love for Italian tradition that launched Angelo into a focused operatic career. He found in opera not only vocal expression but also a vessel for emotional storytelling and nostalgia—qualities he carries with him into every performance, whether on grand stages or in intimate spaces.

​

Angelo debuted professionally in 2022 at Opéra de Montréal as Ruiz (Il Trovatore). He has since performed on Opéra de Montréal’s main stage as Don Basilio and Don Curzio (Le Nozze di Figaro), Gastone (La Traviata), and most recently as L’Arithmétique, La Théière (L’enfant et les sortilèges) and Parpignol (La Bohème) in the 2024/25 season. Other roles include Nemorino (L’elisir d’amore) with Orchestre symphonique de Drummondville and Remendado (Carmen) with Orchestre symphonique de Trois-Rivières.

​

Recent engagements also include his debut as the tenor soloist in Handel’s Messiah with Orchestre Classique de Montréal, the title role of Tito (La Clemenza di Tito) with the Atelier lyrique de l’Opéra de Montréal, and Don Ottavio (Don Giovanni) with Opéra du Royaume in Saguenay, Quebec. In 2023, he won second prize at the National Capital Opera Competition in Ottawa, and in 2024, he was awarded third prize at Edmonton Opera’s Rumbold Vocal Competition.

​

After three formative years in Montreal, Angelo joins the Canadian Opera Company’s Ensemble Studio beginning in 2025/26. He remains dedicated to evoking nostalgia through opera and intimate performances of Italian folk song.
