In June 2001, Lazzara sang the title role of Antonio Cesti's Il Tito in its first modern revival since 1983. The production at the Opéra National du Rhin in Strasbourg with William Christie and Les Arts Florissants premiered a newly edited score by music scholar Alan Curtis.
In October of 2001, he sang the role of Edgar in the Italian premiere of Aribert Reimann's Lear at the Teatro Regio di Torino.
Marco Lazzara created the role of Manichino di Donna in the world premiere of Azio Corghi's Il Dissoluto Assolto at the Teatro Nacional de São Carlos, Lisbon in March of 2006 and reprised the role for its Italian premiere at La Scala the following September.
He sang the role of Lurcanio in the world premiere recording of Johann Simon Mayr's Ginevra di Scozia (Opera Rara ORC23). The recording which used a new performing edition, reconstructed from Mayr's original score by Marco Beghelli, was taken from live performances at the Teatro Nuovo di Trieste in April of 2001 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the opera's premiere. He presented for the first time in Italy the countertenor part in Faust Cantata by A. Schnittke ( Milan 2007 ) and the world's première Pietra di diaspro by Adriano Guarnieri at Rome Opera House and Ravenna Festival ( 2007 ).
