Mr. Tao Tong, a rising star in operatic circles in the United States and Europe, began his study of vocal music with Professor Guonong Gan at Sichuan Conservatory of Music in 2000. Four years later, as the tip-top B.A. of his class, and because of his remarkable onstage performance, he was hired to teach at his alma mater on the vocal faculty. In 2007, he was sent to the Amsterdam Opera House of the Netherlands on a Royal Scholarship for four-year rigorous training and working. He had been handpicked to attend operatic productions with famous opera singers such as Mr. Lotfi Mansouri, Mr. Eric Weimer, Mme. Ljuba Kazarnovskaya, and Mr. Allan Glassman.

Mr. Tong has successfully put together a comprehensive repertoire of major Italian and French operatic works, which launched him on the journey to stardom. Mr. Tong has sung multiple operatic roles across Europe and Asia, as Fenton in Falstaff, Remendado in Carmen, Hoffman in De zaak Hoffman, Rodolfo in La Boheme, Cavaradossi in Tosca, Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor, and Alfredo in La Traviata. He had been contracted and engaged to perform onstage in the Brasov National Opera House (Romania) and the Amsterdam Opera House (Netherlands), among many others. 

Singing also in genres other than opera, Mr. Tong has been an active participant in, and an enthusiastic performer for, recitals, music festivals, and chamber music. Over the years, he has made his debuts in Gala Concerts in Slovenia, Junes Ambassadeurs Lyriques Gala Concerts in Montreal, International Opera Festival in Brasov of Romania, Opera Festival in the Netherlands, Opera Festival in National Radio Netherlands, Serata Italiana, and New Year Concert in Great Hall of The Moscow Conservatory. His singing received a rave review from L’Opera of Milan, Italy, Netherlands news, and so on. 

Numerous awards Mr. Tong has carried off from many competitions include, but are not limited to, Silver Prize of the 2013 Renato Bruson Voice Competition in Moscow, Final Encouragement Prize of Gerda Lissner International Singing Competition in New York, Third Prize of Turandot Competition in Verona, and Gold Medal of the 2nd National Vocal Competition.

In February 2018, Mr. Tong presented his national anthem debut with the Chicago Bulls. Later this year, he will return to Europe to present his Radames debut in Verdi's opera "Aida" with Dutch opera company and Malta Opera House.
