Hungarian State Opera House

The Uruguayan star made his debut on an opera stage in his hometown of Montevido at the age of 22, in Andrea Chénier. The young bass-baritone had won the first prize at several singing competitions, but in 1998, when he became the grand prize winner of Placido Domingo’s Operalia, his internation career was launched. Since then, Erwin Schrott is a household name in the operatic life, and his performances are considered a true celebration in almost all the major theatres and concert halls around the world. The backbone of his repertoire consists mainly of the romantic repertoire the big baritone roles of Mozart. With his portrayals of Don Giovanni, Figaro, and Leporello, he became a real benchmark for Mozart interpretations. He has been a recurring guest on the stages of the Hungarian State Opera House for a decade now, in his most iconic roles. One of his most outstanding performances in Budapest was the 2020 Figaro series, in which the audience of the Erkel Theatre could see him twice in both main (bass)baritone roles, but his portrayal of Mefistofele in the refurbished Opera House was also memorable. In addition to opera, the charming South American artist is a dedicated interpreter of Latin American music, including tango, and his fans were able to get to know this side of him at his 2018 concert on the Margaret Island. After the grandiose opera productions, he returns to OPERA in the third season of Stars’ Recitals with Piano to showcase his versatile talent
