OPERA SINGER
Répertoire
My repertory covers Baroque to end of XIXth century period for opera, with a particular taste for Bel Canto generally speaking. My favourite composers are unquestionably Rossini and Haendel, in their most acrobatic roles for bass and bass-baritone.
Last but not least, I have a large experience of Oratorio from all periods, of german Lied and french melodies, and an immoderate taste for american Musicals, from Gershwin to Andrew Lloyd Weber, including Cole Porter or Rogers & Hammerstein.
