Welcome to Sune Hjerrild’s official
web site:
Sune Hjerrild was born in Denmark in
1973, and still lives here with
his wife Christina and four children, but actually he is also partly
French not to mention that his italien grandfather by the name Achille
Azzano was born in Azzano Decimo in northern Italy.
Sune Hjerrild started to sing at the age of 17 and started dreaming of
a singing career when he was in high school.
His dream came true after his participation in both the Placido Domingo
Opera Contest and BBC Cardiff Singer of the World. This led to numerous
international engagements. For instance he was invited to sing Tamino
in Mozart’s Magic flute, conducted by Sir Neville Mariner at the
opening of the new Megaron Opera in Athens. He has also performed at
the Sidney Opera, Opera de Limoges, Opera Lyrique de Tourcoing (during
the European city of culture 2004 in Lille), The Opera in Leipzig,
Teatro di San Carlo in Napoli, L’Auditorium del Conciliazione in
Rome and of cause both the Danish National and Royal Operas.
Presently Sune Hjerrild is working in
concert and Opera productions all over the world.
He was recently engaged with The
Singapore Symphony Orchestra,
where he sang Faust in Berlioz’
La Damnation de Faust.
Recently he also sang Berlioz’s L’enfance
du Christ along
side with the World bas Alastair
Miles,
and conducted
by Matthew
Best. This summer he sang at the prestigious Spanish
Mozart festival in la Coruña as Soliman in a new Graham Wick
Production
of Zaide. His most recent appearance (in no less than 13
performances) was his debut as Alfredo in La Traviata at the Danish
National Opera
Next year in March he
will be singing Mendelssohn’s Elijah
with RAI in Torino under the Baton of Jeffrey
Tate.
His
next Opera performance will be as Don Octavio in Mozart's Don Giovanni
at the Steyr Festival in Austria. Later in the fall of 2010 he will
sing the role of Edmondo in Manon Lescaut at the Danish National
Opera.
