​Brazilian-born/British National lyric baritone Victor Sgarbi, is widely recognised in the UK and in Brazil as a truly versatile singer, from his critically acclaimed performances of Handel, Mozart, Puccini and Verdi to his contribution to top professional choirs.
After enjoying a successful career as a Dentist and Oral Maxillo-Facial Surgeon in Brazil, Victor decided to follow his passion and become a full-time professional singer, without looking back.



Since his first appearance in an opera in 2006 as Schaunard at Teatro Sao Pedro in Sao Paulo, Victor has sung some of the most technically demanding lyric Baritone roles including Macbeth (Macbeth), Don Giovanni (Don Giovanni), Amonasro (Aida), Renato (Un Ballo in Maschera), Nottingham (Roberto Devereux), Germont (Traviata), Malatesta (Don Pasquale), Figaro (Il Barbiere di Siviglia), Belcore (L'Elisir d'Amore), Father (Hansel and Gretel), Sparrow (Maria de Buenos Aires), Maestro (Prima la Musica poi le Parole), Polyphemus (Acis and Galatea), Marcello, Schaunard and Colline (La Boheme), Conte Almaviva (Marriage of Figaro), Tonio (I Pagliacci), Papageno (Die Zauberflöte) to name but a few. The relocation to the UK in 2007 not only offered him a chance to face new challenges but also facilitated access to renowned music schools, influential teachers and beneficial contacts. 
 

As an Alumnus of the APS Opera Studio in London (2011),  Victor has sung in master classes led by some of the most prominent names within the operatic scene, such as Janice Chapman, Jonathan Hinden, Rebecca Evans, Mary King, Jonathan Cohen, Robin Newton, Olivia Fuchs, Robin Norton-Hale, Max Key and Stuart Barker.  


Victor's achievements opened doors to performances at Brazilian embassies in Asia, the Middle East and Europe. His humanitarian causes also took him to Palestine (2016), where together with the Choir of London, he took part in a series of workshops for Palestinian children and concerts raising awareness of the longest conflict in modern history. Victor has performed in all major concert halls and theatres in Brazil, including Sala Sao Paulo, Teatro Municipal de Sao Paulo, Memorial da America Latina, Teatro Sao Pedro, Teatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro, and in London's Albert Hall, Festival Hall, Barbican, St James Piccadilly and St John's Smyth Square, in Spain's Palau de la Musica in Valencia and Alicante, in Germany at the Laeiszhalle and the new Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, at it is inauguration Festival, in 2017, the Rheingau Festival in Wiesbaden and most recently at the Nouveau Siecle Hall in Lille. He has recently teamed up with producers in his home town Santos, to offer yearly concerts, presentations, workshops and talks with primary school children about music and career.


Victor enjoys incorporating piano and musical theatre pieces into his repertoire and not rarely includes performances of Bossa Nova and other modern Brazilian music into his programmes. His passion for music and his time working as a dentist made him an "average cook", however, Victor enjoys baking cakes and frequently brings samples to rehearsals, for the delight of his colleagues (or not!). At home, his piano (his first instrument) keeps him company and reminds him that music is more than his fingers, his vocal cords, his body and soul, music is the engine that makes him breathe. ​
