Tenor Freddie de Tommaso, who at 28 became an overnight sensation nearly two years ago after stepping in for a star who had taken ill, is so in demand that he sometimes has to turn down roles
This image released by the Santa Fe Opera shows British tenor Freddie de Tommaso as Mario Cavaradossi in Puccini's"Tosca'' at the Santa Fe Opera on Aug. 12, 2023. SANTA FE, N.M. — “British Tenor Saves Night at Opera,” proclaimed the Daily Mail.
In an interview at the opera house here, de Tommaso reflected on his career so far and the “star is born” moment in London that first brought him headlines. Once he decided to study singing seriously, he applied to the Royal Academy of Music. Mark Wildman, who became his teacher, remembers hearing him audition.
De Tommaso immersed himself in recordings of great tenors and borrowed what he could: Franco Corelli ; Mario del Monaco ; Carlo Bergonzi ; Giacomo Lauri-Volpi and getting all these emails and Facebook messages from agents. Who are these people, I thought naively.”“I was quite startled when I heard him,” Katona said. “It was immediately clear that he was above everybody else in terms of vocal quality. Often with young singers, there’s something that is not quite there. With him, you could just lean back and enjoy his singing.”“It’s almost a little frightening that everything has been going so well for him,” Katona said.
“One of the most important words I’ve had to learn to say is ‘”No,’” de Tommaso said, as he did when a German theater asked him to sing Radames in Verdi’s “Aida.” He told them simply: “It’s too early.” “What a job I have!” he said. “Just going around the world to places like Santa Fe, one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been.” He rattled off the list of other spots where he’s performed this summer: Verona, Italy; Verbier, Switzerland; Peralada, Spain.
