(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- One of the most celebrated tenors in the world today, Roberto Alagna is returning to the Royal Opera House Muscat (ROHM) after his magnificent performance there in October 2012.
As per a press release, Alagna's repertoire spans more than 60 operatic roles over three decades and includes additional repertory through the many productions, concerts and recordings which he has championed.
Alagna's discography is as impressive as his genuine and passionate love for opera. As an exclusive artist with EMI (1993–2004), Deutsche Grammophon (2005–17) and currently with Sony Classical, Alagna is a highly successful recording artiste. One of his albums with Deutsche Grammophon (Roberto Alagna Chante Luis Mariano) went double-platinum.
In his youth, Alagna harboured a secret love for opera and honed his sunny and radiant voice listening to the recordings of great tenors of the past. He shot to fame in 1988 when, at the age of 24 and with no previous operatic experience, he won the Pavarotti Competition in Philadelphia. The renowned Glyndebourne Festival invited Alagna to perform the lead role of Alfredo in La Traviata, and it was not long before he was at La Scala with the world-renowned conductor, Riccardo Muti.
Within a few years, the finest international theatres, from New York's Metropolitan Opera to Vienna's State Opera and London's Royal Opera House, opened their doors to the rapidly rising star.
Alagna shares the stage with his wife, the internationally acclaimed Polish soprano Aleksandra Kurzak. Born into a musical family Aleksandra began her music education at the age of seven with violin and piano studies. Pursing an education in music to the highest level, Aleksandra was awarded a PhD in 2009. She had made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 2004, followed by a debut at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden.
Alagna and Aleksandra will appear at ROHM on Sunday, March 25 at 7.30 pm.
