DIEGO GODOY - Lyric-Spinto Tenor
Born in Chile, December 29, 1991 and currently residing in France, Diego began his musical career at the age
of 14 in Chile. He studied first with maestro Rodrigo Tapia, then with mezzo-soprano Graciela Araya at Ramon
Vinay Opera Studies Center.
At the age of 20, he won the Young Artist award at the Trujillo International Opera Singing Competition
(Peru) and made his debut in the role of Benvolio in Gounod's “Roméo et Juliette” at the National Opera of
Chile.
Three years later, he played the role of Azaël in Debussy's "l'Enfant Prodigue" at the Sakrale Oper in Berlin
and Ferrando in Mozart's “Così fan tutte” at the Queen's Hall Theater in Trinidad and Tobago.
The same year he joined the opera studio of the Opéra National du Rhin where he debuted in various roles
under the guidance of Umberto Finazzi, Felice Venanzoni, Sylvie Valayre and Lionel Sarrazin.
He then won the International French Opera Competition of the U.P.M.C.F. in Paris in 2017.
So far he has played the leading roles in operas from Donizetti to Verdi, including French romantic operas
such as Bizet (Don José) and Gounod (Romeo).
He sings as a principal soloist in internationally renowned theaters and halls such as the Bolshoi in Moscow;
the Salle Gaveau, the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées and the Seine Musicale in France; Teatro San Carlo
in Naples, Teatro del Maggio in Florence, Teatro Donizetti in Bergamo, Teatro Bellini in Catania and
Teatro Verdi in Pisa, Italy; the Wiener Konzerthaus and the Innsbruck Opera House in Austria, as well as
the Muscat Royal Opera House in Omán.
In 2022 he sang in “I due Foscari di Verdi” alongside Plácido Domingo as well as participating as a guest
soloist in the soprano Nadine Sierra's concert at the Salle Gaveau in Paris.
The current year 2023 presents itself as a milestone in his career playing the role of the Duke of Mantua in
Verdi's “Rigoletto” at the Cairo Opera in Egypt, then Don José in Bizet's “Carmen” at the Vienna Opera (
France), as well as debuting in the role of Manrico, the title role of Verdi's Opera Trovatore at the Japan Opera
Festival with the Luciano Pavarotti Theater’s Orchestra of Modena; and also Segismundo, “La Vida es
Sueño” by Calderon de La Barca and music by the composer Juan Pablo Carreno in the historic Miguel de
Cervantes Theater in Alcalá de Henares. He also made his debut at the prestigious Festival de Orange in
France as a guest soloist and was part of the tribute to the famous Italian tenor “Enrico Caruso 100 years”.
Last October he sang Don José from Bizet's "Carmen" at the Teatro delle Muse in Ancona; in November he
made his debut in the part of Leicester in Donizetti's "Maria Stuarda" at the National Opera of Bratislava
under the direction of Maestro Marco Guidarini and in December he performed his Manrico in "Trovatore" at
the Teatro Comunale of Chieti instead of in a concertante together with the Philharmonic Orchestra of the
Teatro Comunale Luciano Pavarotti of Modena, under the direction of Maestro Hirofumi Yoshida (those two
productions that marked his career with his first requests for an "bis", in this case, of the aria "Di quella pira").
In 2024-2025, he appears again as Don José of Bizet's “Carmen” at the State Opera of Slovakia; he
participates in the concerts of the Festival d'Arcachon as a guest artist as he was invited to the inaugural
Gala concert of the Orange Festival and in March 2025 he will make his debuts as Rodolfo in Puccini's
“Bohème” at the Grand Opéra d'Avignon.
He is also decorated cum-laude as a young artist of the Richard Wagner Festival Bayreuth 2023
