Early career

[edit]

Kent made his professional debut in Australia at the age of 25, as Don Ramiro in La Cenerentola with Opera Queensland in 2013.[13][14] While at AVA, he made his US concert debut with The Dallas Opera in 2015,[15] and his US operatic debut in 2016 with Opera Philadelphia in Cold Mountain, an operatic adaptation of Charles Frazier's novel composed by Grammy Award and Pulitzer Prize winner Jennifer Higdon.[16][17] His European debut followed in 2017, as Cavaliere Belfiore in Il viaggio a Reims for the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro, marking the beginning of his international career.[18] In the subsequent season, 2017–18, Kent sang multiple productions of L'italiana in Algeri, with Opéra national de Montpellier,[19][20][21] Opéra de Toulon[22] and also a new production for the Hungarian State Opera, created by Máté Szabó and conducted by Francesco Lanzillotta.[23] He performed small roles in a new production of George Benjamin’s Written on Skin with Opera Philadelphia,[24] and also in Rossini's Mosè in Egitto at the Teatro San Carlo di Napoli conducted by Stefano Montanari.[25] He also sang La Cenerentola with Portland Opera.[26][27][28][29]

The following season, 2018-19, the tenor debuted in Rossini's Tancredi with the Teatro Petruzzelli di Bari in a production by Pier Luigi Pizzi.[30] This was performed with the tragic ending as composed for Ferrara, not the much more common lieto fine written for the opera's 1813 premiere at La Fenice.[31] Due to the indisposition of a colleague, Kent sang this role on two consecutive evenings, with his performance described as, "exquisite... The mastery of diction and the excellent color of the high tessitura.. were the highlights of his performance, which was also convincing on an actor's level."[32] He debuted professionally Rossini's Messa di Gloria, a work he sang while studying at AVA,[33] with the Orchestre de Pau Pays de Béarn.[34] Kent repeated his performances of L'italiana in Algeri in Budapest,[35][36] and sang multiple productions of Così fan tutte: for the Lyric Opera of Kansas City, conducted by Dame Jane Glover and with mezzo-soprano Daniela Mack as Dorabella;[37][38] for the Israeli Opera in Atom Egoyan’s production;[39] and for the Rete Lirica delle Marche in a production by Pier Luigi Pizzi in the Teatro dell'Aquila, Teatro Ventidio Basso, Teatro della Fortuna,[40] and the Teatro Marrucino.[41] His season closed with a new production of Cimarosa’s Il matrimonio segreto designed and directed by Pier Luigi Pizzi for the Festival della Valle d'Itria.[42][43]

Season 2019-20 saw Kent perform in Il barbiere di Siviglia for Theater Basel[44][45][46] with David Parry conducting Kirill Serebrennikov’s production from the Komische Oper Berlin.[47] Kent's performance "impresse[d] with a powerful, absolutely confident, technically excellent tenore di grazia."[48] He repeated his performances as Paolino in Pizzi's production of Il matrimonio segreto, this time for the Teatro Regio di Torino.[49] He debuted as Tamino in Die Zauberflöte in a new production by Davide Livermore with the Royal Opera House Muscat, with Diego Fasolis conducting I Barocchisti.[50][51][52] Several of his performances were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, notably Falstaff with the Opéra national de Montpellier,[53] Così fan tutte with the Opéra national de Bordeaux,[54][55][56] and Don Giovanni on tour with Les Musiciens du Louvre.[57] In 2020-21, despite the ongoing pandemic, Kent made a major debut as Arturo in Bellini’s I puritani in his Spanish debut with Ópera de Oviedo.[58] The tenor's extended high range was exhibited in this performance of Arturo's high-F in Act Three, the highest note written for the operatic tenor voice.[59][60][61] He also performed Stravinsky’s Pulcinella with the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI conducted by Ottavio Dantone,[62][63] and L'italiana in Algeri in a new production by Ido Ricklin for the Israeli Opera.[64] His debut with Opernhaus Zürich in Il barbiere di Siviglia was cancelled due to the pandemic.[65]

Major debuts

[edit]

Kent began debuting in major theatres in leading roles in 2021-22, with performances of Il barbiere di Siviglia with both the Bayerische Staatsoper[66] and The Dallas Opera.[67] He also sang performances of Barbiere with Den Norske Opera & Ballett[68] and with Oper Köln, in Ruth Berghaus' 1968 production from the Berliner Staatsoper.[69] In these latter performances, he was praised for his "light, flexible tenor with seemingly as many high notes as you could want and breakneck coloratura."[70] He debuted at Het Concertgebouw in Amsterdam in L'italiana in Algeri with the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century, with a cast including Vasilisa Berzhanskaya.[71][72] This performance was recorded live for CD release on Glossa Music, and was awarded a place on the Bestenliste of the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik in 2023.[73] He sang performances of Die Zauberflöte with the Israeli Opera in Barrie Kosky’s internationally acclaimed production,[74] and Don Giovanni with Opéra de Toulon,[75] where he was praised for his "impeccable musicality,"[76] his "almost celestial" voice,[77] and for "making the whole audience hold their breath on "Dalla sua pace.." [reproducing] the enchantment in an "Il mio tesoro," of ideal breath and saturated with musicality. An exemplary performance..”[78] He gave further performances in Donizetti’s Deux hommes et une femme at the Konzerthaus Berlin with the Berliner Operngruppe,[79] and La Cenerentola with Wallis Giunta in the title role at the Opéra national de Montpellier,[80] where Kent was described as "enchanting..play[ing] like a virtuoso with natural vocal charm.."[81] and praised for his "clear and full voice.. the virtuosity of his singing. The length of breath, the articulation, the charm and the panache.."[82]

In 2022-23, he returned to the Bayerische Staatsoper to make a role debut as Belmonte in Die Entführung aus dem Serail,[83] and for performances of La Cenerentola in a cast including Florian Sempey and Erwin Schrott,[84] in Jean-Pierre Ponnelle's historic production which premiered at Teatro alla Scala in 1973.[85] He debuted at the Wiener Staatsoper in Herbert Fritsch's production of Il barbiere di Siviglia conducted by Michele Mariotti,[86] and made an important role debut as Ernesto in Don Pasquale with the Teatro Petruzzelli di Bari.[87] He appeared in a semi-staged concert tour of Così fan tutte with Julia Lezhneva, Emőke Baráth and Sandrine Piau,[88] at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées,[89] Philharmonie Luxembourg,[90] the Elbphilharmonie[91] and Stadtcasino Basel,[92] with Giovanni Antonini conducting the Kammerorchester Basel. Kent was praised for his "ravishing timbre," and his "particularly sensitive and refined interpretation of the aria "Un'aura amorosa.."[93] Further performances included Il barbiere di Siviglia with Cincinnati Opera,[94] Carmina Burana with Opera Philadelphia,[95] Così fan tutte with the Royal Opera House Muscat,[96] and Bach’s Weihnachtsoratorium with the Stavanger Symfoniorkester.[97]

Major debuts continued in 2023–24 with performances as the title role in Haydn’s Orlando paladino at the Teatro Real Madrid[98] and the Gran Teatre del Liceu,[99] with Giovanni Antonini conducting Il Giardino Armonico and a cast that included Emőke Baráth. He debuted as Narciso in Il turco in Italia for Opernhaus Zürich,[100] where he also appeared as Thespis in a new production of Rameau’s Platée with Emmanuelle Haïm conducting La Scintilla.[101] He also debuted with Festival d’Aix-en-Provence in Dmitri Tcherniakov's double production of Gluck's Iphigénie en Aulide and Iphigénie en Tauride, both with Emmanuelle Haïm leading Le Concert d'Astrée, appearing as Achille in the former opera.[102] The double-bill won the International Opera Award in the category of New Production.[103] He made his house debut with Theater an der Wien in the world premiere of Salieri's Cublai, gran kan de’ Tartari in the original Italian-text, with Christophe Rousset conducting Les Talens Lyriques.[104] This won the International Opera Award in the category of Rediscovered Work.[103] Other performances included a house debut with the Deutsche Oper am Rhein in La Cenerentola,[105] where he was critically praised for "his effortlessly radiant tones,"[106] and his "ease above the staff," and "beautiful messa di voce.."[107] In concert, he appeared with the Orchestre national de Lille[108] and with the Stavanger Symfoniorkester in George Benjamin's Written on Skin.[109]

Kent's 2024–25 season started with performances of Il barbiere di Siviglia with the Opéra de Montréal,[110] where one critic called him, "the major vocal discovery of the evening in Almaviva. This is a real tenore di grazia, with a distinguished tone and great finesse in the execution," and calling the performances "a production which is worth seeing, especially for the remarkable Count Almaviva by Alasdair Kent."[111] The tenor is scheduled to make a house debut in concert with the Teatro alla Scala in Milan as Marzio in Mozart’s Mitridate, re di Ponto, with Christophe Rousset conducting Les Talens Lyriques[112] and further performances at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.[113] He sings Il turco in Italia in Laurent Pelly’s production for Opéra de Lyon, conducted by Giacomo Sagripanti.[114] He debuts as Norfolk in Rossini’s Elisabetta, regina d'Inghilterra with the Teatro Massimo di Palermo,[115] and as Idreno in Rossini’s Semiramide with Opéra de Rouen[116] and the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.[117] He also debuts as Pylade in Gluck’s Iphigénie en Tauride with the Teatro de la Maestranza in Seville.[118]
