ABOUT

ERIC MARGIORE, prides himself on a deep knowledge and understanding of the full throated vocal technique and style of the Golden Age Italian School, as well as a thorough comprehension and intense appreciation of the great singers of that same era. That histrionic understanding and passion for opera singing and classical music, inspires Eric's interest and talent in the developmental & entrepreneurial components of the business of music.

Eric has been singing at a top international level as a Leading Romantic Tenor, under the baton of many world class maestri at a multitude of prestigious international opera houses, and with top symphony orchestras; through which he has acquired a unique global perspective, and a notable fluency of skills, leading him to found and manage a suite of highly successful related ventures; as President and Executive Director of the internationally recognized non-profit 501(c)(3) Premiere Opera Foundation, that houses the Premiere Opera International Vocal Competition, which boasted one of the most esteemed operatic judging panels ever assembled in its inaugural year (Ken Benson, Catherine Malfitano, Aprile Millo, Eve Queler, Lenore Rosenberg & Neil Shicoff ), and as the Artistic Director of the Premiere Opera International Summer Program - Vocal Arts Institute, in Urbania, Italy.  Eric is also the Managing Trustee of Premiere Opera, the world’s largest archival catalog of rare & live opera recordings, which donates 100% of its proceeds to the Premiere Opera Music Foundation, to support the next generation of great opera artists, and to preserve and immortalize the most iconic performances in operatic history.  

Eric has been recognized by many prestigious music foundations, and holds degrees in Music, Classical Voice Performance, and Philosophy from New York University, as well as a Graduate Professional Studies Diploma in Opera Performance from the Mannes School of Music.  Currently, Eric is completing coursework for New York University’s School of Professional Studies, ‘Nonprofit Arts Management’ Diploma Certificate. The stratagem into artists management is a natural progression, stemming from Eric's singing career, as well as the success of the Foundation, Vocal Competition, and Summer Program; through which the Premiere team is privy to discovering some of the top operatic talent in the world today, and with that, implementing a careful and precise method in procuring artists of the highest standard, that we wish to represent.
