TREJO

MAURIZIO

A special treat was Mauricio Trejo as Pinkerton; a clear, strong tenor who sang with warmth and passion.

Biography

Mexican-Italian tenor Maurizio Trejo is an Italian dramatic tenor and Heldentenor whose instrument evolved from the lyric-spinto repertoire, retaining its line and flexibility while gaining the weight, stamina and upper-register projection required for Verdi, verismo and Wagner.

A graduate of the Manhattan School of Music, Panasonic Scholar of the Year, Santa Fe Opera Apprentice Artist and alumnus of the International Opera Studio of Opernhaus Zürich, Trejo has appeared at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Bregenzer Festspiele, Sarasota Opera and throughout Europe and the Americas. A Sony Classical recording artist as one of The American Tenors, he is currently focused on Siegmund, Otello, Parsifal and the principal dramatic Italian and Wagnerian roles.

Trejo has also explored the Spanish lyric repertoire in La dolorosa, Luisa Fernanda, La tabernera del puerto and El barbero de Sevilla.
