from 1665–1669, and then at the Brescia Cathedral from 1669 through 1675. His younger brother Paolo Pollarolo (b. 1672) was also a professional musician in Brescia, and Paolo's son, Orazio Pollarolo (d. 1765), was an opera composer.
After receiving training in music from his father, Carlo Francesco began his career as the organist at the Santa Maria della Pace, Brescia; a position he held before the birth of his son, the composer Antonio Pollarolo, in 1676. Carlo Francesco also had a daughter, Giulia, who married the organ builder Giacinto Pescetti. Their son, Carlo Francesco's grandson, was the organist and composer Giovanni Battista Pescetti
Giovanni Battista Pescetti (c. 170420 March 1766) was an organist, harpsichordist, and composer known primarily for his operas and keyboard sonatas. Musicologist and University of California, Santa Barbara professor John E. Gillespie wrote that Pes ...

On 18 December 1676 Carlo Francesco succeeded his father as the organist at the Brescia Cathedral at which point he resigned from his position at the Santa Maria della Pace. He later was promoted to the post of "capo musico" at the Brescia Cathedral on 12 February 1680; replacing Pietro Pelli as maestro di cappella

. He concurrently served as the maestro di cappella at the Accademia degli Erranti from 1681 through 1689; an institution which had staged his first opera, ''Venere travestita'', in 1678. He did not return to opera again, until 1684 when he began a prolific career writing both operas and oratorios, first for performances in Brescia (''Il Roderico'', 1684) and Vienna (''La Rosinda'', 1685), and then for performances in nearby Venice

and other Italian cities like Milan and Rome.
Carlo Francesco's operas became increasingly popular on the Venetian stage during the late 1680s, and in late 1689 he left his post at the Brescia Cathedral and re-located his family to Venice where they settled in the Santa Croce district. On 13 August 1690 he was appointed second organist at St Mark's Basilica, and two years later was promoted to the position of vicemaestro di cappella. His son Antonio succeeded him in that post ten years later.
From 1691 through 1707 Carlo Francesco was the most prolific opera composer in Venice, and he was the most frequently performed composer at the city's top opera house, the Teatro San Giovanni Grisostomo

, during this period. He continued to write operas for the Venetian stage into his 60s, with his final opera, ''L'Arminio'', being completed and staged in November 1722 while he was suffering from a fatal illness. After six months of ill health, he died on February 7, 1723. He is buried in the Scalzi, Venice.
In addition to his work as an opera composer and organist, Pollarolo was also the musical director of the Ospedale degli Incurabili, Venice

He composed four Latin oratorios for performance by the students at the conservatory during his tenure: ''Tertius crucis triumphus'' (1703), ''Samson vindicatus'' (1706), ''Joseph in Aegypto'' (1707), ''Rex regum'' (1716) and ''Davidis de Goliath triumphus'' (1718).
