Carlos Álvarez (born 1966 in Málaga) is a Spanish baritone who has had a major international opera career since the early 1990s. His recording of the title role in Isaac Albéniz's ''Merlin'' with Plácido Domingo as King Arthur won a Latin Grammy Award in 2001, and his recording of the role of Ford in Giuseppe Verdi's ''Falstaff'' won the Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording in 2006. Álvarez made his stage debut at Madrid's Teatro de la Zarzuela in 1990 in a production of Pablo Sorozábal's ''La del manojo de rosas''. Since then he has appeared in leading roles on the stages of most of the world's great opera houses, including La Scala, the Royal Opera, London, Opéra Bastille, the Liceu, the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía, the Teatro Real, the Bavarian State Opera, the Hamburg State Opera, the Vienna State Opera, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Washington National Opera, and Zurich Opera. Some of the roles he has performed on stage are Alfonso XI of Castile in ''La favorite'', Don Carlo in ''Ernani'', Don Carlo di Vargas in ''La forza del destino'', the Duke of Nottingham in ''Roberto Devereux'', Escamillo in ''Carmen'', Figaro in ''The Barber of Seville'', Gérard in ''Andrea Chénier'', Iago in ''Otello'', Marc Antoine in Jules Massenet’s ''Cléopâtre'', Rodrigo in ''Don Carlos'', Roque in Emilio Arrieta's ''Marina'', and the title roles in ''Don Giovanni'', ''The Marriage of Figaro'', and ''Simon Boccanegra''. In 1996 Álvarez made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera as Germont in ''La traviata'' with Victoria Loukianetz as Violetta, Marcello Giordani as Alfredo, and Plácido Domingo conducting. He has returned to the Met several times in numerous Verdi operas, singing the Count Di Luna in ''Il trovatore'' opposite Sondra Radvanovsky as Leonora (2002), Renato to Aprile Millo's Amelia in ''Un ballo in maschera'' (2005), the Miller to Veronica Villarroel's Luisa in ''Luisa Miller'' (2006), and the title roles in ''Rigoletto'' (2006) and ''Macbeth'' (2008). In 2010, Álvarez was scheduled to sing Don Carlo di Vargas and Simon Boccanegra at the Vienna State Opera, Ford at the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, Ezio in ''Attila'' at the Metropolitan Opera, Simon Boccanegra at both La Scala and Madrid's Teatro Real, and the title role in Ambroise Thomas's ''Hamlet'' at the Washington National Opera. But he withdrew from several of these engagements, among them Attila, Hamlet, and Simon Boccanegra in Madrid. He was awarded Spain's Premio Nacional de Música for interpretation in 2003. ==Sources== *(Carlos Álvarez at the Metropolitan Opera ) *(Carlos Álvarez at operabase.com ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carlos Álvarez (baritone)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
