Diego Torre to return to sing in 2013
April 21, 2012 | Author insider
Diego Torre, the lyrico spinto tenor who sang in the recent Gale Edwards production of LA BOHEME for Opera Australia in 2011, returns to Australia to sing in the 2013 season. The role he will be singing remains under wraps, but either Gustavus in UN BALLO IN MASCHERA or Don Alvaro in LA FORZA DEL DESTINO are the most likely.
Born in Mexico City, tenor Diego Torre is a two-year graduate of the Domingo – Thornton Young Artist’s program at Los Angeles Opera, where he made his company debut three seasons ago as Don José in performances of CARMEN. In his debut season with Wolf Trap Opera Company, Mr. Torre sang Conte Ivrea in Verdi’s UN GIORNO DI REGNO, Captain in CANDIDE, and Bacchus in ARIADNE AUF NAXOS. He was invited to return to Wolf Trap in the summer of 2009 to play Rodolfo in LA BOHEME, where The Washington Times said of his performance, “His passion was real, his heartbreak was immense, and his commanding, gloriously sculpted instrument makes him an up-and-coming talent to be watched.” He was then engaged for the 2009/2010 season at The Metropolitan Opera to play the Messenger in AIDA and Federico in STIFFELIO, followed by Masaniello in La MUETTE DE PORTICI for Dessau Opera.
