Brazilian-born/British National lyric baritone Victor Sgarbi, is widely recognised in the UK and in Brazil as a truly versatile singer, from his critically acclaimed performances of Handel, Mozart, Puccini and Verdi to his contribution to top professional choirs. After enjoying a successful career as a Dentist and Oral Maxillo-Facial Surgeon in Brazil, Victor decided to follow his passion and become a full-time professional singer, without looking back. Since his first appearance in an opera in 2006 as Schaunard at Teatro Sao Pedro in Sao Paulo, Victor has sung some of the most technically demanding lyric Baritone roles including Macbeth (Macbeth), Don Giovanni (Don Giovanni), Amonasro (Aida), Renato (Un Ballo in Maschera), Nottingham (Roberto Devereux), Germont (Traviata), Malatesta (Don Pasquale), Figaro (Il Barbiere di Siviglia), Belcore (L'Elisir d'Amore), Father (Hansel and Gretel), Sparrow (Maria de Buenos Aires), Maestro (Prima la Musica poi le Parole), Polyphemus (Acis and Galatea), Marcello, Schaunard and Colline (La Boheme), Conte Almaviva (Marriage of Figaro), Tonio (I Pagliacci), Papageno (Die Zauberflöte) to name but a few. The relocation to the UK in 2007 not only offered him a chance to face new challenges but also facilitated access to renowned music schools, influential teachers and beneficial contacts. |
