The German-Iranian gentleman-baritone began his artistic career with an acting degree in Berlin. With this background, his special ability to interpret and perform various operatic roles on the stage is characterized. For example, the Neue Merker Online 2015 writes about his portrayal of Scarpias in Puccini's Tosca: " Here is an expressive guy on the stage who has completely internalized his role. His smoky, pithy baritone has no trouble crossing the orchestra waves and he demonstrates with us small gesture, how big theater works. "
During the 2013/14 to 2016/17 seasons, Manos Kia was a permanent guest at the State Opera Berlin, State Theater Braunschweig, State Theater Mainz, Theater Kiel, Oper Halle, Stadttheater Bremerhaven, Theater Winterthur (CH), the Eutin Festival, the Copenhagen Operafestival, and many more There he interpreted various specialist roles, such as: Papageno in "Die Zauberflöte", Marcello and Schaunard in "La Bohème", Dancairo in "Carmen", Figaro in "Le Nozze di Figaro", Kaspar and Ottokar in "Der Freischütz" and others
From the 2016/17 to 2018/19 season, Manos Kia was part of the ensemble at Theater Nordhausen in order to acquire the repertoire of the cavalry baritone. His interpretation as Vidal Hernando in the Zarzuela opera "Luisa Fernanda" received a lot of attention in "Die Opernwelt": "It is not the man with the high voice who is popular here but the principled baritone (Vidal Hernando) who gives Manos Kia elegant contours by he erotically charges the melodies he trained on Franz Léhar with perfectly placed Rubati "  (Uwe Friedrich) He also made his debut in major games, such as Marcello in" La Bohème "or
G. Germont in "La Traviata". With the latter role, Manos Kia was also able to impress the audience and press at the 2018 Eutin Festival.
Highlights in 2018/19 were concerts in the Berlin Philharmonie and the Berlin Konzerthaus with Mahler's 8th Symphony of 1000 and Mozart's Requiem, also in the Berlin Philharmonie. Furthermore, he sang again at the Classic Open Air 2019 at Gendarmenmarkt, this time with the Anhalt Philharmonic Dessau under the direction of GMD Markus L. Frank.
Future engagements in the 2019/20 season will lead the baritone to the Laeiszhalle Hamburg with "Songs of a Driving Journeyman" by G. Mahler, accompanied by the ´91 orchestra conducted by Ilya Ram and to the Villa Elisabeth in Berlin for "Toujours Mozart "Festival with Handel's Messiah (Mozart version), accompanied by the Lautten Compagney Berlin under the direction of Wolfgang Katschner.
