Argentinian tenor Marcelo Álvarez
has emerged as one of the leading operatic artists of our day. He has been acclaimed
in the most important theaters throughout the world, including the Metropolitan
Opera; Teatro alla Scala; Royal Opera, Covent Garden; Opera National de Paris
Bastille; Staatsoper Berlin; Deutsche Oper in Berlin; Vienna State Opera; Teatro
Colon in Buenos Aires, as well as at the Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa, Teatro
Giuseppe Verdi in Trieste, Hamburg State Opera, Teatro Communale di Bologna, Theatre
du Capitole Toulouse and many others.
An exclusive Sony Classical artist, Álvarez
joins forces with tenor Salvatore Licitra in Duetto, an album of new songs created
especially for the two singers by a carefully selected group of the greatest
writers and arrangers working in music today. Duetto
will be released internationally in the summer. The two tenors will reunite
on June 12 for Duetto - The Concert
at the Roman Colosseum, an outdoor concert performance featuring the music of
Duetto, to be filmed for subsequent
broadcast on RAI Uno, BBC, PBS Great Performances and Arte, with home video
release to follow. Álvarez's
previous Sony Classical release was the critically acclaimed French Opera Arias.
He made his recording debut for the label with Bel Canto in 1998, which he followed
with Álvarez Sings Gardel,
a disc of classic Argentinian tangos made famous by the legendary singer Carlos
Gardel.
