​

He studied at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and continued his training in Italy and at the State University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart, where he completed his soloist diploma. During his studies he already gained extensive stage experience in Brazil, including a recording of Schumann’s Dichterliebe for Brazilian National Radio and DVD recordings of works by José Maurício Nunes Garcia.

​

Throughout his career he has collaborated with stage directors such as Peter Konwitschny, Giancarlo del Monaco, Graham Vick, Jossi Wieler, Yannis Kokkos, Davide Livermore, Georg Rootering, and Dirk Schmeding, and with conductors including Sylvain Cambreling, Omer Meir Wellber, Federico Santi, Giampaolo Bisanti, Michael Schønwandt, Helmuth Rilling, Roberto Minczuk, and Cornelius Meister, among others.

In 2026 he returns to Theater Erfurt for his debut as Riccardo in Verdi’s Un ballo in maschera, revisits Canio at the Thüriger Schlossfestspiele and will sing one of the leading roles in the world premiere of Guilherme Bernstein’s opera Chica da Silva in Brazil. 

​

Between 2006 and 2010, Ewandro didn’t dedicate himself only to music. He was a full-time member of the Brazilian Marine Corps (Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais). Meanwhile, he pursued further studies in Rio de Janeiro, trying to manage a very challenging schedule. Eventually, he took part in competitions, which brought him some of his first professional appearances, helping him pave his way to Europe, where he joined the class of Prof. Ulrike Sonntag in Stuttgart, to whom he is deeply grateful.
