Tenor Roberto Alagna comes to Melbourne in July 2016Considered one of the greatest tenors of this generation and the most charismatic artist working in opera today, Roberto makes his debut in Australia this year. He will perform in Melbourne on 27 July at Hamer Hall. RACV members have the chance to win a B-Reserve double pass ($450) to see him. There are five double passes to be won.
As a young man Roberto studied accountancy, sang in Parisian cabarets and released a pop album. Influenced by the films of Mario Lanza, he made the switch to opera and in 1988, when Luciano Pavarotti came to Paris and was signing copies of his recordings Alagna pushed his way through the throng, stood before Pavarotti and told him he wanted to be an operatic tenor. Amused, Pavarotti invited Alagna to sing one note. When he did Pavarotti’s jaw dropped.
The maestro invited Alagna to audition to earn a ticket to the finale of the Pavarotti Competition in Philadelphia. He won his ticket to Philadelphia, and then he won the prestigious competition. Overnight, at 24, his operatic career took off. Lead roles and acclaim at opera houses such as La Scala, Royal Opera House Covent Garden and the Metropolitan Opera in New York followed.
