Celebrated for his “beautiful voice and singing with great depth of feeling,” baritone, Matthew Giallongo has established himself equally at home on the operatic stage as well as the concert stage. He has been seen in performances across the Northeast including Papageno (Die Zauberflote), Nardo (La finta giardiniera), Belcore (L’elisir d’amore), Picasso (After Life), Elder McLean (Susanna) with Opera Fort Collins and as a soloist with the Portsmouth Symphony. On the recital stage Matthew has a great passion for contemporary American and 20th century French music. He has been fortunate to work with many living composers, such as Libby Larsen, William Bolcom, Lori Laitman, Kile Smith, and Tom Cipullo. 

 

This past Fall Matthew joined the voice faculty at Purdue University Fort Wayne as their Director of Vocal Studies. He has previously served on the faculties of Eastern New Mexico University, Louisiana Tech University, Grambling State University, and Colorado State University-Pueblo.

 

Matthew holds a B.M. in Vocal Performance from Gettysburg College, an M.M. in Vocal Performance from Temple University, an M.M. in Vocal Pedagogy from Colorado State University, post graduate work at the University of North Texas, and a D.M.A from the University of Cincinnati – College-Conservatory of Music where he was a student of William McGraw.
