Voted one of the top Opera Singers in the San Francisco Bay by San Francisco Classical Voice (Best of The Bay Edition), Geoffrey Di Giorgio is making his mark in the world of classical music for his performances in the Dramatic Baritone repertoire. He is most at home in the works of Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Wagner, and as such, his vocalism has been described as “easing so beautifully into the upper register, it makes one think of both Heldenbaritone and Verdi Baritone.” (Brooklyn Daily Eagle). Mr. Di Giorgio’s pristine technique described as “beautiful, compelling, dreamlike,” and “rich sonorities that never cheat a consonant yet maintain a legato line” allows for the versatility to also master Mozart, Baroque, and Oratorio. 

This summer, young Baritone Geoffrey Di Giorgio will be making his breakout debut as Alberich in the first of Wagner’s Ring Cycle Operas, Das Rheingold, with the Miami Classical Music Festival.  Di Giorgio began his 2018-19 season with his debut in the same German dramatic repertoire, singing the role of Kurwenal in Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde with the Claude Heater Foundation at The War Memorial Performing Arts Center (Herbst Theater) in San Francisco. His performance was described as “robust” (San Francisco Chronicle) and “rafter-shaking” (San Francisco Classical Voice). Parterre Box described his performance of Kurwenal in great detail stating: “As Kuwernal, baritone Geoffrey di Giorgio was as heroic as the Tristan, and he was gorgeously loud. I loved his interaction with Tristan in Act 3, he beautifully depicted the banter between two warriors who cared for each other.” 
2018-19 also saw him in the demanding role of Giacomo in Verdi’s Giovanna D’Arco with the Berkeley Chamber Opera. For his recent performances as Miller in Verdi’s Luisa Miller with the Berkeley Chamber Opera, The Berkeley Daily Planet stated “In the role of Miller, Luisa’s father, was baritone Geoffrey Di Giorgio, a stocky barrel of a man equipped with a stentorian baritone that rings out loud and clear. In his portrayal of Miller, an old soldier with a soft spot for his daughter, Di Giorgio was ever watchful over his daughter’s happiness. 
His aria “Sacra la scelta” was an invocation of Miller’s honor as a former soldier, and it was robustly delivered by Di Giorgio. Likewise, Di Giorgio’s singing in Miller’s duet with his daughter Luisa, in which he dissuades Luisa from suicide, was immensely tender.” He is quickly establishing himself as a baritone with "glorious singing" (Knoxville Sentinel), “an impressive rich voice” (Mercury News) and “beautiful, compelling, and dreamlike vocalism” (Brooklyn Daily Eagle). 
Geoffrey has performed leading roles across the United States; with performances as Marcello (La Boheme), Ford (Falstaff), Don Carlo (Ernani), Prince Yamadori (Madama Butterfly), Sacristan, Sciarrone, and Carceriere (Tosca), Bob (The Old Maid and The Thief), Talpa (Il Tabarro), Abner (Athalia), Henry Davis (Street Scene), Vicomnte Cascada (Die Lustige Witwe),  appearing with opera companies and orchestras including Sarasota Opera, Miami Classical Music Festival, Knoxville Opera, Opera Las Vegas, Reno Philharmonic, Baltimore Concert Opera, Opera Libera, Musica Raritana, Opera at Florham, and San Francisco Chamber Orchestra, among others. Geoffrey has garnered prizes from many prestigious vocal competitions including: The Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, The Giulio Gari IVC, Licia Albanese Puccini Foundation, The Jensen Foundation, and The Palm Springs Opera Guild. Mr. Di Giorgio was an Emerging Professional with Dolora Zajick’s Institute for Young Dramatic Voices from the summer’s of 2014-2019 and is currently a student with the Potomac Vocal Institute’s Professional Development Program. Geoffrey is a protege and pupil of Opera Stars, Dolora Zajick and Luana DeVol, and has furthered his vocal studies with Metropolitan Opera Stars, Elizabeth Bishop and Stephen Powell; as well as Bill Schuman.
