Tommaso Giordani was born in Naples (Napoli) between 1730 and 1733.
He came from a musical family and his father, also a musician, was Giuseppe Giordani senior, born around 1695 in Naples. Tommaso was trained in Naples and moved with his father and siblings to London, via Graz(1747),Salzburg and Frankfurt (1750), Amsterdam, (1752) and Paris (1753). Once in London they performed four burettas at Covert Garden in the 1753–4 season. The family continued to perform in London for the next two years.
In 1764, Tommaso Geordani accepted an invitation to act as musical director of the Smock Ally Theatre, Dublin. He stayed for the next three years, performing comic operas and co-producing the first ever opera seria to be performed in Ireland, L'eroe cinese (1766).
In 1767 following accusations of plagiarism, he returned to London where for the next 16 years he was successful as an opera composer. There he led productions of his own operas and pastiche operas with music by several composers at the King’s Theatre, Haymarket.
In 1783, Giordani returned to live in Ireland where he stayed for the remainder of his life. He was active in opera and had a stake in the short-lived 'English Opera House', which he founded in 1783. Here there were productions of works by Irish composers and librettists.
Tommaso Geordani died in Dublin in 1806.
