Overview
Saimir Pirgu is ‘one of the world’s most important interpreters of lyric tenor roles’ (Opera Today). Star of the Royal Opera House’s Rigoletto in September 2014, Pirgu’s singing ‘sounds spontaneous and unforced, graced by an intuitive play of light and shade and a silken touch’ (New York Times).
‘His technique is superb, and the lyric quality of his voice is so beautiful’ Placido Domingo
