Biography
Ramón Vargas is one of the leading tenors of our time and among the most sought-after worldwide. Born in Mexico City, he studied at the Cardenal Miranda Institute of his hometown, with Antonio Lopez and Ricardo Sanchez. After winning the Carlo Morelli National Vocal Competition, he made his debut in Haydn’s Lo Speziale in Monterrey, Mexico. His breakthrough came when the Mexican conductor Eduardo Mata hired him to sing Fenton in Verdi’s Falstaff, and later Don Ottavio in Mozart’s Don Giovanni. After winning the Enrico Caruso Tenor Competition of Milan in 1986, he moved to Austria, where he completed his vocal studies at the Wiener Staatsoper Opera Studio Program, under the guidance of Leo Müller. Then he made his European debut in Luzerner Theater in 1988 as Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor
