Biography

Renowned tenor Roberto Alagna was born in Clichy-sous-Bois, France, on June 7, 1963. Before becoming an international opera star, Alagna honed his pipes singing cabaret in Paris. He won first place in the prestigious Luciano Pavarotti Voice Competition in 1997 and made his professional stage debut in La Traviata the following year. As his reputation grew, so did his workload, eventually landing the young singer in such notable venues as Covent Garden and the Metropoltan Opera. He has starred in film versions of Tosca and Romeo & Juliet and won numerous other awards, including the Laurence Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Opera, and has been made a Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et Lettres and was deemed Artiste Lyrique de l'Année at the Victoire de la Musique Classique Awards in 2004. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
