Renato Cioni

Renato Cioni (Tenor)

Born: 15th April 1929, Portoferraio on the Isle of Elba

Died: 4th March 2014, Portoferraio

Nationality: Italian

Renato Cioni was an Italian operatic lyric tenor, particularly associated with the Italian repertory.

Born in Portoferraio on the Isle of Elba, the son of a fisherman, Cioni received his main musical education at the Cherubini Conservatory in Florence. In 1956, as a result of winning an international voice contest organized by the Rome Opera, he made his stage debut at Spoleto, as Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor. Earlier that same year he had appeared as Pinkerton, in a television production of Madama Butterfly, opposite another debutante, Anna Moffo.

Cioni's career expanded thereafter, with debuts in such cities as Rome, Naples, Palermo, Venice, Genoa, Trieste, Bologna, and Catania.
