A bass-baritone, Ruggero Raimondi divided his career between the opera stage and the silver screen. A singer as well as an actor, Ruggero Raimondi played Moussorgsky's Boris Godounov and Mozart's Don Giovanni. Ruggero Raimondi performed with the greatest conductors of his time: Herbert von Karajan, Lorin Maazel, Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Chailly, Claudio Abbado, Georges PrĂȘtre... The only thing missing from his repertoire is Wagner, much to his regret. A great lover of Mozart, Ruggero Raimondi has always refrained from singing Sarastro in The Magic Flute.
