THEODORE LAMBRINOS' career encompasses 60 major baritone roles that he has
performed at the Metropolitan Opera and opera companies throughout
the United States and internationally. His powerful voice and compelling
stage presence make him one of the finest Verdi baritones appearing
before the public today. His appearance at the Metropolitan Opera
in the title role of Rigoletto was described by the New Jersey Star
Ledger as a "gripping performance that brought down the house" and
he was hailed as the "Metropolitan Opera's A-Team." In demand throughout
the world for his interpretation of Rigoletto, he received ovations
for his "compelling and faithful portrayal of the complex character,"
(China Daily) in Beijing, and he was also honored to present this
role in the historical first-ever performance of opera in Hanoi, Vietnam.
He created the role of Carlo Tresca in the world premiere of Anton
Coppola's Sacco and Vanzetti for Opera Tampa and performed seven of
the leading baritone roles for the New York Grand Opera Verdi Festival
in Central Park. He has sung nearly 200 performances of Rigoletto,
Nabucco, Aida and Tosca with the European touring companies Opera
2001 and Teatro Lirico d'Europa throughout Spain, France, Portugal
and Denmark.
