Frank Lopardo

American tenor Frank Lopardo was born in New York in 1957 and studied at Queens College CUNY and the Juilliard School of Music, making his American debut as Tamino in St. Louis and his European debut as Fenton (Falstaff) in Naples. His repertoire encompasses the high-lying heroes of Rossini and Donizetti as well as Mozart and the lighter Puccini and Verdi roles.

Lopardo’s discography includes Alfredo in Richard Eyre’s Covent Garden production of La Traviata under Sir Georg Solti (the performance which catapulted Angela Gheorghiu to international stardom in 1994), Lindoro on Claudio Abbado’s 1989 recording of Rossini’s L’Italiana in Algeri (‘a perceptibly baritonal tenore di grazia’ – Gramophone), Count Almaviva in the same conductor’s Il barbiere di Siviglia (opposite Placido Domingo in an early baritone assignment as Figaro), and Mozart’s Great Mass in C minor under Leonard Bernstein. He also sings the tenor solo part on Robert Spano’s Grammy Award-winning recording of Berlioz’s Requiem on Telarc.
