Their story began in Massachusetts where they were born and raised. They both showed exceptional musical gifts at very early ages. Stefano’s beautiful boy alto gradually developed into a young dramatic tenor with world-class potential. His formal musical studies began at age seventeen. He won a full scholarship to the Boston University School of Fine Arts. Nina’s musical development began with ballet lessons at age eight, piano lessons at age ten and voice lessons at age fourteen. Dancing was initially her principal love and she auditioned for the Boston Ballet at age sixteen. But the following year the beauty of her young dramatic soprano voice also won her a scholarship to the Boston University School of Fine Arts.

Stefano and Nina soon realized they had very unusual voices that had to be carefully nurtured and allowed to develop at their own pace. With this in mind, they accepted engagements throughout the United States, Europe, and South Africa, taking the time to perfect their vocal techniques and refine their art. They have built extensive repertoires in opera, light opera and musical comedy and are equally at home in all three mediums. Because of their tremendous versatility and their love for various types of musical expression, this remarkable couple decided to create a special show that would highlight their numerous gifts. They also wanted to reach out to audiences that are not accustomed to experiencing the thrill of live voices coming directly at them without the aid of microphones and amplifiers.
