Roberto Alagna
Discography
Roberto Alagna, a French operatic tenor, first ascended in 1988 when he won the Luciano Pavarotti International Competition in Philadelphia.
The following year, he made his stage debut as Alfredo in Verdi's 'La Traviata' with the Glyndebourne Touring Opera and then hit the big time in the same role at La Scala, Milan.
Alagna's appearance in the 1994 Covent Garden production of Gounod's 'Roméo et Juliette' established him as the finest lyric tenor of his generation. He reprised the role in March 2000, alongside his wife, soprano Angela Gheorghiu.
Music
In April 1993, Alagna signed an exclusive record deal for solo repertoire with EMI Classics, extended in February 1998 to include albums of duets and complete operas, often joined in this repertoire by Angela.
The pair have had outstanding international success as both solo and duo artists.
