Italian tenor that “shows a full and soft voice in high register and impressive acting qualities, far superior than today's opera singers' avarage” (Connessi all'opera).
He performs a repertoir ranging from baroque music to classicism, in collaboration with some of the most important ensembles, musical and stage directors of the current musical scene. He sung the title role in Offenbach’s Robinson Crousoe (dir. V. Rana and M. Bellocchio) and Arsenico in Offenbach’s Coscoletto (dir. S. Quatrini/G. Montesano and A. Cirillo) at Festival della Valle d’Itria and Arena Shakespeare of TeatroDue in Parma. Still at Festival della Valle d’Itria, he took part to Manforce’s Ecuba staged by P. P. Pizzi (dir. Sesto Quatrini), recorded and livestreamed by Rai5.
Then, he debuted as Ferrando in Mozart’s Così fan tutte at Teatro Cilea in Reggio Calabria (“The young tenor Nile Senatore, Ferrando, has a color of voice and an adolescent presence that are well suited to the dreaming part of those who sing "Un’aura amorosa", a moment that earned him a generous applause, and he honorably untangled for the whole work also overcoming the obstacle of the difficult aria "Tradito, schernito", which is more often omitted” Impiccione Viaggiatore).
He sung Bach in Germany at Staadttheater Gießn in the production Glaube. Liebe. Abschied. He showed up among the finalists at the prestigious Cesti Competition’s 2020 edition, and in 2021 he was selected for role of Orphée in La Descente d’Orphée aux Enfers for the first William Christie and Les Arts Florissants’ residence at Quartier des artistes in Thirée.
Among his latest debuts, he performed Ozìa in Mozart's Betulia Liberata at Teatro Olimpico (“His nuanced phrasing, his delicate caressing of the words, and the way he wove coloraturas of sweet delicacy and complexity were a delight” Operawire); Abele in Pasquini's Cain et Abel and Falsa Mater in Charpentier’s Judicium Salomonis at Innsbrucker Festwochen der Alten Musik directed by A. De Marchi (“His interpretation was magnificent, full of passion and incisiveness, his timbre clear and enchanting" L'ape musicale); Humana Fragilità and Pisandro in Monteverdi's Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria at Abbaie de Royaumont (dir. B. Hartoin and Mariame Cleément).
He is currently on tour with Les Musiciens du Louvre singing Lully’s Le bourgeois gentilhomme (that had a livestreamed performance on France5 Télévision from the Opéra de Bordeaux and that will resume on 2023 at Opéra Comique in Paris and Opéra de Vichy) and with La Petite Bande singing Mozart's Così fan tutte (which had its première at Concertgebouw in Amsterdam – “Tenor Nile Senatore was an exceptionally lyrical Ferrando” OperaMagazine).
He is also singing as haute-contre in La Pastorale sur la naissence de N. S. J. C. with l'ensemble Le Parlement de musique (“D'emblée j'étais captivé par la voix de haute-contre de Nile Senatore. Projection, pureté du timbre, belle diction, phrasé superbe, toutes ces qualités étaient mises au service d'une belle musicalité. Avec une telle voix, la musique française pourrait être servie à la perfection.” BaroquiadeS). In March ’23 he will be making his spanish debut at Palau de la Musica Catalana in Barcelona and at Auditorio Nacional de Musica in Madrid, singing Anfinomo in Monteverdi’s Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria with the orchestra Europa Galante leaded by Fabio Biondi.
He also performs intensively as an actor, playing many of the main characters of the classical theatre as part of the TEMPRART theatrical assosiation, under the guidance of italian actress and stage director Renata Fusco.
