Erwin Schrott (born 21 December 1972 in Montevideo, Uruguay) is an operatic bass-baritone, particularly known for his interpretation of the title role in Mozart's Don Giovanni.[1]
Career
Schrott made his professional debut in Montevideo at the age of 22, singing Roucher in Andrea Chénier. Following a stint at the Teatro Municipal in Santiago, Chile where he sang Timur in Turandot, Colline in La bohème, Sparafucile in Rigoletto and Ramfis in Aida, he won a scholarship to study in Italy.
After winning First Prize (Male Singer) and the Audience Prize in the 1998 Operalia competition founded by Plácido Domingo, he went on to leading roles in major opera houses in Europe and the United States, including: La Scala — the title role in Don Giovanni and Pharaon Moïse et Pharaon; The Royal Opera House — Leporello in Don Giovanni, Figaro in Le nozze di Figaro, and the title role in Don Giovanni; The New York Metropolitan Opera — Escamillo in Carmen.
Personal life
Erwin Schrott and the Russian soprano Anna Netrebko were engaged in late 2007 and are expecting a child in the autumn of 2008. She and Schrott have shared the stage several times in previous years.[2] Their son was born on 5 September 2008 in Vienna.[3]
In April 2008, concert promoter Ian Rosenblatt said that he was planning to sue Schrott for breach of contract when he cancelled his appearance in the Rosenblatt Recital Series for 11 June 2008 at Cadogan Hall.[4] The dispute was settled out of court in August 2008 when Shrott agreed to make a donation to charity.[5]
