Blessed Child Opera

Blessed Child Opera is a musical project formed by Paolo Messere, who handles guitars, lyrics, vocals, and electronics. The project began in the late 1990s, originally starting in 1999 or 2001 according to different sources, and is marked by Messere’s inventive sound design and evocative atmosphere. The current full lineup also features Matteo Anelli on drums and electronics, contributing to the project’s unique sonic identity. Blessed Child Opera’s work spans a range of releases, with standouts including recent albums like “Red Flags” (2025) and singles such as “Oblivion,” which marked their return after a six-year hiatus.
