About the artist Roberto Alagna

Roberto Alagna was born in France of Sicilian parents. Following musical studies in Paris he won first prize in the 1988 Luciano Pavarotti International Competition in Philadelphia, USA, and made his stage debut, as Alfredo in La traviata with Glyndebourne Touring Opera, in the same year. As a result, he was immediately engaged for that role by several major opera houses, and it was in a new production of La traviata that he made an outstanding debut at La Scala in April 1990. Alagna’s voice is luminous, radiant. It is the voice of the Italian lyrical tenor people dream about. Glyndebourne wanted him as Alfredo in La Traviata. Then it was Monte Carlo, and very quickly La Scala with Riccardo Muti, in the role of an Alfredo with a rare fervour. The Duke of Mantoue in Rigoletto followed, with Muti again, and Rodolfo in La Bohème. In a few years the greatest international stages, from New York to Vienna and London, opened their doors to him; the greatest orchestra conductors were honoured to direct him; he was acclaimed everywhere. In the 2000s, his voice has broadened and darkened. He has added to his repertoire the key roles of Italian opera. Roberto Alagna’s discography reflects the extent of his musical curiosity. Although his recordings and his performances have earned him the highest musical and official awards (he was made a chevalier of the Legion of Honour in 2008), Roberto Alagna is not resting on his laurels.
