Mexican star singer Ramón Vargas was first the guest of the Győr Philharmonic Orchestra in 2017. The world-famous tenor’s concerts now promise to be among the highlights of this year’s Hungarian concert season. The great singer’s career took a decisive turn in 1992, when he stepped in for Luciano Pavarotti as Edgardo in the New York Metropolitan Opera’s production of Lucia di Lammermoor. Soon afterwards, he appeared at La Scala in Milan, singing the role of Fenton in Verdi’s Falstaff, in a sensational production that was directed by Giorgio Strehler and conducted by Riccardo Muti. Ramón Vargas is a regular guest at such opera houses as the Teatro Colón (Buenos Aires), the Royal Opera House (London), the Teatro Real (Madrid), the Opéra National (Paris), the Vienna State Opera and the Verona Arena.
