Born in 1955, a pupil of Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, American Thomas Hampson made his debut at the Düsseldorf Opera (Germany) in 1980, before appearing at the Metropolitan Opera in New York and then on the world's greatest stages. The athletically built baritone made his name in 1987 with La Traviata, followed by other Verdi operas such as Don Carlos in 2005. Other roles made his name, from Mozart(Don Giovanni) to Rossini(Guillaume Tell) and Wagner (Parsifal), as well as lieder cycles by Schubert, Schumann and Mahler. In 2014, the lieder collection Notturno: Songs by Richard Strauss celebrates the German composer's 150th birthday.
