Pentatone has announced that they have signed a long-term and exclusive deal with star tenor Michael Fabiano. Included will be a series of albums to showcase Fabiano’s repertoire and interpretation. The deal will be inaugurated next year as Fabiano readies to release a collection of arias by Verdi and Donizetti, backed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Enrique Mazzola.

“I am proud to be joining the Pentatone family,” says Fabiano. “Their commitment to excellence and dedication to collaboration, creates a wonderful environment in which to work, and I am looking forward to a long and mutually rewarding artistic partnership.”

Renaud Loranger, Vice President Artists and Repertoire of Pentatone, says: “Even in a generation not devoid of extraordinary singers, Michael Fabiano clearly stands out: his golden-age voice and magnetic performances captivate audiences, on both sides of the Atlantic. It has been thrilling to watch his career blossom over the last decade, and it is an even greater thrill to welcome him to the Pentatone roster. We look forward to his solo debut on the label.”

Upcoming engagements for Michael Fabiano include his Lyric Opera of Chicago debut as Rodolfo, in their new production of “La Boheme” which will open their 2018/19 season. Fabiano will also appear in the Metropolitan Opera’s production of Arrigo Boito’s “Mefistofeles,” in the role of Faust, and in the same role in the Royal Opera’s production of Charles Gounod’s “Faust.”
