Pasquale Esposito

Italian tenor Pasquale Esposito is an acclaimed crossover recording artist, celebrated for his pop-opera style. He began touring internationally in 2005 following the release of his first recording Naples… That’s Amore. He made his San Francisco Opera debut in 2015, the same year that he wrote and produced his first PBS special: Pasquale Esposito Celebrates Enrico Caruso. In 2018, he released his second PBS special: Pasquale Esposito Celebrates Italian Piazzas, which led to a concert version of this program, along with a robust national tour. 

In addition to his live performances and prolific audio and video recording ventures, Esposito established Notable Music and Arts Organization in 2012. This non-profit organization provides music instruction to underserved students in the San Francisco Bay Area and develops and produces educational programming for public television. Esposito also provides private instruction at his studio in San Jose, California and travels to give master classes at major colleges and universities across the country. Born and raised in Naples, Italy, Esposito immigrated to the United States in 1998 and completed his bachelor’s degree at San Jose State University.
