After winning the Cardiff Singing Competition (facing a Bryn Terfel), the international Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky has been a sensation since his highly acclaimed debut as Eugene Oneguin. This role opened the doors of the biggest opera theaters in the world where he quickly became an accountable artist, especially in the operas of Verdi. He defends like no other the Russian repertoire, of course and is also remarkable in concerts and recitals where he presents the melody with delicacy and convicting art. His career seems balanced between opera performances and recitals, which allows him to travel the world each season.

Undisputed star at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, Dmitri Hvorostovsky also rules at the Royal Opera House in London and triumphs in each of his appearances throughout Europe.With a strong presence on stage, his white hair and his physical Slavic charm causes to melt more than one fan even when defending the villain roles. His brazen voice does the rest. The 2015-2016 season was difficult for the singer who had to cancel a few performances to fight against disease but he keeps faith and communicates without taboo about his condition. Dmitri Hvorostovsky is one of the greatest Verdi baritones of his generation you absolutely have to see on stage.
