Italian baritone Luca Bruno started his musical studies and career as pianist and musicologist, earning six degrees in Piano Performance and Musicology, and teaching in Higher Educational Institutions of Italy and the USA. Since 2014, he pursued his voice studies with soprano Renata Scotto, bass Roberto Scandiuzzi, and baritone Giuseppe Murmura. He has sung main roles in eighteenth-century operas, and in Donizetti’s (Enrico, Belcore, Malatesta), Verdi’s (Nabucco, Rigoletto, Germont, Renato, Rodrigo), and Puccini’s (Marcello, Scarpia, Sharpless, Sonora, Michele, Ping) most renowned works. He has also broadly performed twentieth-century and contemporary theatrical works. He has sung in Italian “teatri di tradizione” (Ancona, Cosenza, Lecce, Livorno, Orvieto, Reggio Calabria, Sassari, Spoleto, Trapani, Treviso) and “enti lirici” (Teatrino di corte del San Carlo in Napoli, Teatro “Petruzzelli” in Bari, Torre del Lago, Teatro “Bellini” in Catania). 
Internationally, in March 2019 Bruno has made his debut in the role of Marcello (Managua, Nicaragua) and then returned to the role in May (Baku, Azerbaigian).

In October 2019, he has staged Ping in Turandot (Chengdu National Theatre opening), and returned to China (Tianjin, Xiamen) in December 2019, in one of the last international opera tours before the COVID-19 pandemic. 
Despite the few opera seasons restored in Italy after the general lockdown, Bruno has been part of one the first live concerts in the world, singing in Sarzana (28 June 2020) alongside opera star Roberto Scandiuzzi, with the Orchestra of “Carlo Felice” Theatre of Genoa conducted by Giuseppe Finzi. The concert has been recorded and published by "l’opera", one of the most renowned Italian periodical in the field. He has also covered the role of Scarpia in the new "Tosca" production of Puccini Festival 2020. Bruno has then recorded Albino Taggeo’s new opera "Guernica" (Rome, 2020), and staged the role of Maestro Campanone in Francesco Gnecco’s "La prova di un’opera seria", and the title role of Verdi’s "Rigoletto" for the Teatro Lirico Sperimentale in Spoleto.

In December 2021, Bruno has performed as the main character and stage director of "Rigoletto", for the Chile Opera Festival in Concepción (conductor Lorenzo Tazzieri); he has then been the Bass and Bariton soloist in the “Messa di Gloria” by Puccini in Macerata and Città di Castello for the Festival delle Nazioni (conductor Beatrice Venezi). In January 2022, he has interpreted the Count of Almaviva in "Le nozze di Figaro" by Mozart (conductor Jimmy Chiang, director Luigi Travaglio) for the Taranto Opera Festival. In April 2022, he has made his role debut as Tonio in Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci" (conductor Davide Dellisanti, director Nicoletta Perondi), for the 200th anniversary of the “Persio Flacco” Theatre in Volterra.

In August 2022, Bruno has performed the title role in Mozart’s "Don Giovanni" (Formello Festival, conductor Fabio Serani, director Orlin Anastassov), and Alfio in Mascagni’s "Cavalleria rusticana" (Teatro “Goldoni” and Mascagni Festival in Livorno, conductor Roberto Gianola, director Danilo Capizzani).
In September 2022, Bruno has covered the title role of "Simon Boccanegra", in the first version of the opera (1857), for the Verdi Festival in Parma; he then has performed four shows as Rigoletto in Verdi’s birthplace theatre in Busseto (Parma Verdi Festival, conductor Alessandro Palumbo, director Manuel Renga).
