Renato Alagna (Clichy-sous-Bois 1963) After winning the Luciano Pavarotti International Voice Competition, an initiative supported by the Ministry of Heritage and Culture, which began in 1988 in Modena, Alagna debuted professionally as Alfredo Germont in La Traviata with the Glyndebourne touring company. This led to many commitments in all smaller cities in France and Italy, mainly again as Alfredo, a role that would eventually sang over 150 times. His reputation grew and was soon invited to sing at major theaters such as La Scala in 1990, Covent Garden in 1992 and the Metropolitan Opera as Rodolfonel 1996. His performances of Roméo in Roméo et Juliette by Charles Gounod at Covent Garden in 1994 (alongside Leontina Vaduva) will catapult him to international stardom.
