Neil Shicoff
Neil Shicoff is an American operatic tenor celebrated for his powerhouse performances and emotional intensity in dramatic roles. Born in 1949 in New York City, Shicoff grew up immersed in music—his father was a synagogue cantor, and he studied at Juilliard before launching a career that’s taken him to iconic stages like the Vienna State Opera and the Metropolitan Opera. Known for his fiery portrayals of troubled characters, he’s become a go-to for Verdi heroes (think *Ernani* or *Rigoletto*) and Puccini’s tormented leads, earning a rep as a singer who throws his whole soul into every note.
A true artist of the live stage, Shicoff’s recent recordings—like the raw energy of *Britten: Billy Budd* (Wiener Staatsoper Live) or the passion-packed *Great Verdi Voices*—showcase his knack for balancing vocal precision with theatrical grit. Whether tackling Tchaikovsky’s brooding *Eugene Onegin* or belting out highlights from *The Puccini Album*, his voice carries that signature blend of vulnerability and volcanic power. A veteran performer, he’s still reminding audiences why opera hits hardest when it’s served with heart.
