“One of the foremost singers of his generation” (Limelight 2022), ARIA Award-nominated baritone David Greco is internationally regarded for his recordings of Schubert and Bach. He has sung on some of the finest stages across Europe and appeared in celebrated opera festivals including Festival d’Aix-en-Provence and Glyndebourne Festival Opera.

 

An acclaimed interpreter of oratorio and concert work, he appears regularly with Australia’s leading orchestras including the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, Australian Haydn Ensemble, and notably with the Sydney Symphony in their recent Helpmann Award-winning concerts of Bach and Bartok. He has become closely associated with Britten’s War Requiem, making his debut in this work with West Australian Symphony Orchestra in 2022, and again in 2023 with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Most recently, David appeared as soloist in Verdi’s Requiem in the Sydney Opera House.

 

Equally experienced on the operatic stage, he has been a principal artist with Opera Australia in The Eighth Wonder, The Love of Three Oranges and, most recently, in the role of Valens in their 2024 Summer Season of Handel’s Theodora. David is a well-known principal artist with Pinchgut Opera, his performance of Seneca in their production of L’incoronazione di Poppea receiving critical acclaim. In 2023, he made his debut with Christchurch Symphony Orchestra as Aeneas in Purcell’s Dido & Aeneas.

 

As a recording artist, David has an impressive catalogue of international recordings including Jack Body’s Poems of Love & War on the Naxos label and Solo Bass Cantatas of J.S. Bach, with the Netherlands-based Luthers Bach Ensemble on the Brilliant Classics label.

 

David is an active researcher into historical performance of 19th-century voice and recently received his doctorate from the University of Melbourne. His PhD led to the first Australian recordings of the historically-informed performance of Schubert’s song cycles Winterreise and Die schöne Müllerin on ABC Classic label, receiving an ARIA nomination for Best Classical Album in 2020.
