Born: Rome, Italy

The Italian chorus master, Paolo Vero, graduated in piano, later taking an interest in choral music.

From 1990 to 1993 he collaborated with the Rome Opera House for the opera season (besides many titles of the traditional repertoire, there are notable works such as Zorba il greco by Theodorakis, I dialoghi delle Calmelitane by Francis Poulenc, lfigenia in Tauride by Piccinni, Adina e il califfo di Bagdad by Rossini and Gilgamesh by Battiato). An important stage of his career was the 1993-1995 collaboration with the Bayreuth Festival as an assistant to Norbert Balatsch, where he worked at Wagner's Flying Dutchman, Tannhäuser, Tristan und lsolde, Parsifal, Lohengrin and Ring des Nibelungen conducted by the renowned Sinopoli, Runnicles, Daniel Barenboim, James Levine and Schneider.

Since 1996 he has been chorus master at the Teatro Lirico di Cagliari, conducting the choir in successful productions such as Sebastian, taken from Debussy's Martyre de Saint-Sébastien, Wagner's Die Feen (the recording of which, on Dynamic, was awarded the 1997 best operatic CD prize by the magazine "Musica e Dischi"), Smetana's Dalibor, Tchaikovsky's Cherevichki, Strauss' Die Ägyptische Helena, Mozart's and Debussy's Requiems and Mozart's Coronation Mass.
