ARIA Award-nominated baritone David Greco is internationally recognised as one of Australia’s leading vocal artists, with a distinguished career spanning opera, concert performance, recording and scholarship. Described by Limelight as “one of the foremost singers of his generation,” he has performed on major stages across Europe and Australia, including Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, Glyndebourne Festival Opera and the Sydney Opera House.

 

His international career has included significant engagements with leading European ensembles and conductors in the field of historically informed performance, including Ton Koopman and the Amsterdam Baroque Choir, the Netherlands Bach Society, Freiburg Baroque Orchestra and Concerto Amsterdam - selected repertoire encompassing all Bach’s St Matthew Passion and St John Passion, Mass in B Minor Handel’s Giulio Cesare and Monteverdi’s Vespers.

 

David is the first Australian to have been appointed to the Sistine Chapel Choir in the Vatican, Rome.

 

His performance career encompasses leading roles and major works across the operatic and concert repertoire, with recent highlights including Verdi’s Requiem at the Sydney Opera House, Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 with West Australian Symphony Orchestra, Duruflé’s Requiem with Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and Britten’s War Requiem with Melbourne and West Australian Symphony Orchestras. His recent operatic appearances include Papageno in The Magic Flute for State Opera South Australia and Seneca in Opera Victoria’s 2026 production of The Coronation of Poppea.

 

A highly regarded recording artist, David has recorded extensively for ABC Classics, Naxos and Brilliant Classics, with a particular reputation for his interpretations of Bach and Schubert. His recordings include Bach’s Solo Cantatas for Bass, Schubert’s Winterreise and Die schöne Müllerin, the latter receiving an ARIA Award nomination for Best Classical Album. His latest recording, Schubert’s Schwanengesang, was released by ABC Classic in 2026.
