Narcis Iustin Ianău (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈnart͡ʃis jusˈtin jaˈnəw]; born February 1, 1995 in Bacău, Rumänien) is a Romanian countertenor. In Romania he became famous by taking part in the first season of Românii au talent and becoming the runner-up.
Narcis was born on February 24, 1995, in Barați, Bacǎu as the son of Eduard and Felicia Ianǎu. At the age of five he began singing in the Catholic church choir in his hometown. There his teacher put him in the group of the sopranists. After graduating the Liceul de Artă "George Apostu" (Secondary school of arts "George Apostu"), Narcis started studying at the Academia de Muzică "Gheorghe Dima" (Music academy "Gheorge Dima") in Cluj-Napoca.
In 2010, Narcis competed for the first season of Românii au talent. In the audition he interpreted O mio babbino caro, taken from the opera Gianni Schicchi by Giacomo Puccini. With the agreement of all three judges Narcis made it to the semifinal, where he presented Adagio by Tomaso Albinoni and was voted into the final. On April 25, 2011, he interpreted an own version of an aria of The Phantom of the Opera in the final. With 24.40% of all votes he became the runner-up of this competition.
Still in 2011, Narcis took part as a special guest in the Italian TV-show Io canto, in which adolescents compete in singing songs with the objective of gaining ground in music business.
One year later, Narcis got invited as liveact to the semifinal of the second season of Românii au talent, where he interpreted Scarborough Fair.
In January, 2015, Narcis debuted in the Opera Română din Cluj (Romanian National Opera, Cluj-Napoca) by playing the herdsman in Tosca, an opera by Giacomo Puccini.
