Alexander Kariotis

As an operatic tenor, Alexander has performed internationally, with solo appearances at Avery Fisher Hall, NYC, The Berlin Philharmonic, Germany, and regional opera houses. He has sung the roles of Rodolfo – Cavaradossi – Canio - Nemorino, to name a few.

As a Broadway leading man Alexander performed alongside Tony Award winning actress Elizabeth Ashley in the Columbia Artists/Broadway tour of “Master Class” by Terrence McNally directed by original Broadway director Leonard Foglia.

As a classical crossover artist Alexander released his debut CD, “Alexander Kariotis and The Rock Opera Orchestra” with VMG/SONY. The music weaves timeless operatic arias amid soaring rock melodies, and a powerhouse rock rhythm section, with strings, woodwinds, brass and backing vocals.

Alexander enlisted the exceptional talents of the iconic jazz saxophonist David Sanborn who joins Alexander in a beautiful jazz/opera fusion song called Ho Bisogno Di Te. Darryl “DMC” McDaniels from the super rap group RUN DMC also joins Alexander in a hip hop/opera collaboration of a remix of Alexander’s original composition called Vesti la Giubba – Hide the tears. A new album is set for release 2022.

Classically trained in Opera, Alexander has studied with a Who’s Who of vocal masters, from Arrigo Pola (the late Luciano Pavarotti’s voice teacher, Modena, Italy), Gianni Raimondi (La Scala, Italy), as well as Dan Marek, John Wustman and Nico Castel (Metropolitan Opera).
