Marco Caria, born in Oristano, Sardinia, is now recognized as one of the most fascinating and influential voices on the international opera scene.

From an early age he showed a natural talent: when he was only 5 years old he began studying the guitar and then continued his musical training at the \u201cL. Canepa\u201d Conservatory of Sassari.
