About the artist Nicolai Gedda

Nicolai Gedda was born in Stockholm on 11th July 1925. His Russian father was a member of the Kuban Don Cossack Choir; his mother, whose maiden name he adopted professionally, was Swedish. As a boy, he was trained in Leipzig, where his father became choirmaster at the Russian Orthodox Church in 1928. The family returned to Stockholm in 1934, and Gedda sang in the local Russian church. After army service, work in a Stockholm bank, and singing lessons with Carl Martin Oehmann he won the Christine Nilsson Singing Competition in 1950. He went on to make his début at La Scala as Don Ottavio in the 1952-3 season, and at Orff’s request, created the role of the Bridegroom in his Il trionfo d’Afrodite. In February 1954 he sang Huon in a new production of Oberon at the Paris Opéra, and the next year made his Covent Garden début as the Duke in Rigoletto. Gedda has over 100 recordings of opera, operetta, oratorio and lieder to his credit. A fine linguist, speaking and singing in seven languages, and with a large operatic and recital repertory, he also commands the range of vocal and idiomatic style for Cellini and Pftizner’ Palestrina, Tchaiovsky’s Herman and Fauré’s songs. He is considered to be one of the most versatile and gifted artists of his time.
