Maestro
Marcello Garofalo, son of composer Carlo Giorgio Garofalo, has been working
in his native country, Italy and here in the USA, teaching l'accento
Italiano as an integral part of the vocal art. He maintains his private
studio in New York where many singers attend his Bel Canto Seminars in
Carnegie Hall. He has also been invited to offer Master classes all over the
country as well as in Italy where he was coached by his father, Maestro
Carlo Giorgio Garofalo, who was a composer, conductor and became renown as
an opera coach for such prestigious artists as Nazzareno De Angelis, Titta
Ruffo, Benjamino Gigli and many others. |
Among
many celebrities, both in music and theater, with whom Marcello Garofalo has
worked is beloved actress Maureen O'Hara (far right).

be an opera singer." (Source:
