Click the button below, if you don't have a Pay Pal account please send us a private message. ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- PRESS QUOTES "Ernesto Tomasini has an astonishing range of 4 and a half octaves!!! He could sing every role in an opera all by himself!" BBC World "The famous castrato-style performer" The Evening Standard "The 'clowntertenor'” What’s On "Maria Callas and Peter Sellers combined" The Times "A very funny comedian but also a unique singer" Michael Chance BIOGRAPHY Born in Palermo (Italy), ERNESTO TOMASINI is often described by the press as a "cult figure". He has been very active on the Italian comedy circuit, legitimate theatre and TV since the age of 16. In the UK, after graduating at the Arts Educational London School, he has made a point of having as varied a career as he could, working as actor/singer in West End musicals ("Chicago"), Off-West End productions (Blind Summit's "Mr China's Son") and with experimental theatre companies (Lindsay Kemp). He has also created his own shows: "True or Falsetto?" (as performer/producer) and "The Veiled Screen" (as performer/playwright). The first premiered at the 2002 Edinburgh Festival and was a sell out hit in London and on international tours (in three different languages), whilst the second production has had two London runs in 2006 at the Drill Hall, sponsored by the Arts Council of England. As avant-garde comedian and cabaret artist Ernesto has performed in theatres, nightclubs and cultural institutes in ten countries around the world, winning two prestigious prizes in Great Britain. On radio he has sung and acted on all the BBC stations, Classic FM, Radio 3 (Spain), Radio Aligre (France) and Radio New Zealand. Among his TV and film appearances: "Crowded Skies" (BBC2, UK), "Premio Anna Magnani" (RAI3, Italy) "Boulevard" (RTL4, Holland) and "Children of Men" (Universal Pictures). As voiceover artist he has worked for directors James Ivory, Kevin Spacey and Ridley Scott. As soloist Tomasini has sung in London at the Royal Albert Hall, the Purcell Room and the National Theatre. More recently he has lent his voice to experimental music projects: He is the muse of composer Othon Mataragas and in 2007 he has performed with him in concert halls around Europe and has released the EP "When I Leave You". Other important collaborations are those with Andrew Liles (Nurse With Wound, Faust) and Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo (Larsen, Black Cave Salamander). With the first he has performed at the Sala Apolo in Barcelona ( Check out this video: ernesto tomasini ) and has recorded the albums "Black Widow" and "Black Sea", both released in 2007 by Beta-lactam Ring Records. With the latter he has performed in Paris at Les Voutes and produced the album "Canes Venatici" (Blossoming Noise, 2007) ON SALE ON THIS PAGE. A sought-after lecturer on theatre history and techniques he has given master-classes to drama students in England, Spain and Mexico. COMING SOON ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- ° Othon Mataragas' pieces "Metalipsis" (sung by Ernesto) and "The L.P.R., the Ego and the Result" are part of the soundtrack of Bruce LaBruce's new film "Otto; or, Up with Dead People". The movie premiered in January at the Sundance Film Festival, it opened shortly after at the Berlin Film Festival and went on to the Sydney, Paris, Istanbul and Mexico City Festivals. Its next stop is, on April 5 and 6, at the London LGFF.
