The English tenor, Hugo Mallet, began his stage career in 1991 in Munich as Belmonte in W.A. Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail at the Oberland-bühne. After a two-year engagement at the opera house in Freiberg, singing Don Ottavio in W.A. Mozart's Don Giovanni, Rinuccio in Gianni Schicchi and Baron Kronthal in Der Wildschütz amongst other roles, he moved to the Landestheater Detmold, where his roles included Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly, Faust in Charles Gounod's Faust, Tom Rakewell in Igor Stravinsky's The Rake's Progress and Tamino in W.A. Mozart's Die Zauberflöte.
Hugo Mallet's freelance singing activity has taken him to the opera houses in Cologne, Rouen and Halle, among others, and his concert career has taken him to Singapore, Lucerne, Moscow, Kofu (Japan), with a repertoire stretching from J.S. Bach's B minor Mass (BWV 232) to Gustav Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde. |
