Biography

edit

La Colla was born in Turin, but lived in Alcamo between the ages of 12 and 23.[1] He started his studies at the Conservatorio Pietro Mascagni in Livorno and trained under the guide of the soprano Luciana Serra and later with the baritone Carlo Meliciani.

In 2002 he won a scholarship at the Accademia d’alto Perfezionamento del Repertorio Pucciniano of Torre del Lago, where he attended its courses with Magda Olivero, Katia Ricciarelli and Raina Kabaivanska.[2] Afterwards he performed with Katia Ricciarelli at the Teatro Verdi of Pisa in a gala event organized by the Rotary Club.

After he debuted in 2008 with Aida at the Theatre Goldoni in Leghorn, he continued his artistic experience in the traditional theatres of Italian cities such as Novara, Savona, Chieti, Reggio Emilia, Pisa, Lucca, Livorno, Busseto and Brescia.[3]

His international career started in 2011 with Turandot in Ratisbon (where he made his debut with 16 recitals),[4] then in Dortmund, Leipzig, Saint Petersburg, St. Gallen, Zagabria, and Bucarest. In 2014 he performed in some of the great European opera houses in Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Amsterdam, Oslo, Dresden and Vienna. In Italy he has performed several times at Teatro alla Scala in Milan as well as in Rome, Naples and Verona.[4]
