The opera star will be joined by Australian soprano Siobhan Stagg on the three-date national tour in July.

Roberto Alagna, one of the world’s great tenors, will make his Australian debut in July with a three-date tour visiting Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Alagna is one of the most in-demand tenors in the world. His Australian concert tour will follow hot on the heels of a three-month season at New York’s Metropolitan Opera, performing the roles of Canio in Pagliacci and Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly. Later in 2016 Alagna will give his debut performance in the role of Chevalier des Grieux in Manon, also at the Met, before heading to that most hallowed Wagner stage, Bayreuth, to sing the title role in Lohengrin.

Joining Alagna on his first tour Down Under will be one of Australia’s most promising young singers, Siobhan Stagg. The soprano, who is based in Germany, recently made headlines for her highly acclaimed Covent Garden debut, and for an equally lauded debut with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
