Saimir Pirgu

Saimir Pirgu - Tenor

After his recent successes as Alfredo in Traviata at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, in Bach’s Mass in B minor with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Riccardo Muti and in the Petite Messe Solennelle in Paris and Vienna under Daniele Gatti, Saimir Pirgu lately sang as Macduff in Macbeth at the Teatro alla Pergola in Florence James Conlon conducting and Graham Vick directing.

 

Future plans: Rigoletto at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden in London, Arena in Verona, Zurich, Vienna and in Toulouse; La Bohème in Washington; La Traviata in San Francisco and in London; La Clemenza di Tito at the Opéra National de Paris; Macbeth and a Gala Concert at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona; Lucia di Lammermoor in Los Angeles and Toulouse where he also will perform La Favorite; La Traviata in Vienna. On the concert side Mr. Pirgu will perform in Verdi’s Requiem in Munich with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischer Rundfunks and in Berlioz’s Messe Solennelle with the Wiener Philharmoniker in Vienna under the baton of Riccardo Muti.

  

Saimir Pirgu’s whirlwind advance from conservatoire in Italy to the leading roles on the world’s premier opera stages sees him already positioned as the new generation lyric tenor of choice for leading conductors such as Claudio Abbado, James Conlon, Daniele Gatti, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Riccardo Muti and Antonio Pappano. From the outset the humble but determined singer was identified as a major future talent.
