Description
ABOUT CONCERT
The world-famous tenor Rolando Villazón last sang in Prague on June 29, 2021 in the Rudolfinum, accompanied by the French pianist Morgan Fauchois-Prado. It was a fantastic evening! After the covid break, Rolando didn't hide his emotion and enthusiasm that he was singing for a live audience again. He was in great singing form and fascinated the listeners not only with his singing, but also with joy. He confirmed that the phenomenon, the unfettered tenor, is "the most magical star of the contemporary opera scene" (The Times).
