Pene Pati

Tenor Pene Pati has been hailed as a major vocal discovery. Graduating from a pair of prestigious training programs in San Francisco, he began appearing at major opera houses internationally in the mid-2010s. In 2013, Pati was heard on an album with the Graduate Choir of New Zealand, A Sound Came from Heaven. Pati made his debut with the San Francisco Opera in 2017 as Il Duca di Mantova in Verdi's Rigoletto. Since then, he has frequently appeared with that company and many others. Personable and with an enthusiasm for the art form of opera that has attracted audiences beyond the usual, Pati was signed to the Warner Classics label and released his debut album, Pene Pati, in 2022. Two more albums, 2024's Nessun Dorma and 2025's Serenata a Napoli, followed.
