Juan Diego Flórez is one of the leading tenors of the present day. Born in 1973 in Lima, he devoted himself early to singing as well as Peruvian folk and pop music. At the age of 17, he began his studies at the Conservatorio Nacional de Música in Peru and three years later received a scholarship for vocal studies at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. In 1996, he made his debut at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro as Corradino in "Matilde di Shabran", followed by his debut at Teatro alla Scala as Le Chevalier Danois in Gluck’s "Armide". Since then, he has been a regular guest at international opera houses such as Teatro Real Madrid, Opéra Garnier, the Royal Opera House, the Vienna State Opera, Sydney Opera House, LA Opera, and the Zurich Opera House. He has released numerous solo albums and opera recordings on CD and DVD, including "Rossini Arias", which was awarded an ECHO Klassik. Among his many honors are the "Gran Cruz de la Orden del Sol", the highest award of the Peruvian state, the title of Austrian Kammersänger, and the Opus Klassik as Singer of the Year 2018. He is also the founder of the project "Sinfonía por el Perú". In recognition of his social engagement, he was appointed UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador in 2012 and received the Crystal Award of the World Economic Forum in 2014.
