He has appeared in all of the world’s major opera houses and has sung with many of today’s most renowned conductors.

His exceptional versatility and vocal range have allowed him to encompass a vast repertory, from the Bel Canto operas of Rossini, Donizetti and Bellini and the lyricism of the French operatic repertoire, to the more dramatic roles of Verdi, Puccini and Berlioz and, most recently, the popular Verismo operas of Mascagni and Leoncavallo: Cavalleria Rusticana and I Pagliacci.

Giordani’s schedule for the 2011-12 opera season included Tosca at the Deutsche Oper Berlin; Trovatore and Carmen at the Teatro Massimo Bellini of Catania; and Carmen again at the new Royal Opera House Muscat of Oman. He began 2012 with Aida at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, followed by Ernani and Madame Butterfly at the Metropolitan Opera, Cavalleria Rusticana at the Opéra National de Paris, and Tosca at the Wiener Staatsoper. Verdi’s Ernani will be transmitted live in HD from the stage of the Metropolitan to participating cinemas throughout the world on February 25, 2012.

In January 2011, Giordani reprised the role of Ramerrez at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, and later in the year he made his debut in three different roles: Vasco da Gama in Meyerbeer’s L’Africaine in a concert version with Opera Orchestra of New York; Turiddu in Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana and Canio in Pagliacci, in a Cav/Pag double bill at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona. He finished the season as Cavaradossi in Puccini’s Tosca at the Wiener Staatsoper.

In 2010, the Marcello Giordani Foundation was established, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the help and support of young opera singers. In 2011 he returned to his native Sicily to preside over the first Marcello Giordani International Vocal Competition.
