In the United States, in addition to the Met, he has appeared at the San Francisco Opera as Edgardo in Lucia[3] and at Carnegie Hall with the Opera Orchestra of New York as Federico in L'arlesiana.[4] Nemorino was the role of his debut at the Los Angeles Opera in 2009 and at the Lyric Opera of Chicago in 2010, and he returned there in 2011 for Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor and in February 2013 for the Duke in Rigoletto.

Giuseppe made his American Recital Debut on 21 April 2012 with the Harriman-Jewell Series at the Folly Theater in Kansas City, Missouri singing a program of Italian and German songs by Cilea, Pizzetti, Respighi, Tosti and Strauss.[5] He made his London Debut Recital on 11 March 2014 at Wigmore Hall with the Rosenblatt Recital Series.
Filianoti closely identifies with the music of his compatriot Francesco Cilea. In 2006, he discovered among the composer's papers a manuscript of a song "Alba novella/Una mattina", whose lyrics he recognized as having come from the first libretto in four acts of L'Arlesiana. The song had been cut from the work after the premiere at the insistence of the publisher Casa Sonzogno and was subsequently forgotten. Filianoti brought this song to the attention of Casa Sonzogno and urged them to reinstate the aria, which was done for concerts and recordings with the Philharmonisches Orchester Freiburg in July 2012. The aria was included in its first staged performance with the Wexford Festival Opera in October 2012.[6][7][8][9][10][11]

In 1996 Giuseppe Filianoti won his first competition while still a conservatory student, the Concorso Internazionale di Canto “Francesco Paolo Tosti”.
