We are delighted to announce that Ibermúsica Artists will undertake the global representation of one of the most internationally acclaimed performers in the current scene: Santiago Ballerini.

He won First Prize at the Festivals Musicales Competition, American Society Competition, and San Juan Opera Competition. In 2014, Ballerini was named Argentina’s “Upcoming Opera Singer'' by the Congress of Argentina and the Argentine Association of Critics. In January 2016, Ballerini was awarded the Grand Prize at the Laguna Mágica International Vocal Competition in Chile, receiving invitations to sing Cassio in Otello with the Teatro Argentino and to sing with the Tenerife Opera.
His recent commitments include his role debut as Narciso in a new production of Rossini’s Il turco in Italia at Teatro Colón, his return to the Teatro Regio di Torino to star as Prunier in La Rondine, and at Arizona Opera to sing Count Almaviva in The Barber of Seville.
