Hugo Mallet (Tenor)

Born: England

The English tenor, Hugo Mallet, began his stage career in 1991 in Munich as Belmonte in Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail at the Oberland-bühne. After a two-year contract at the opera house in Freiberg (singing Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni, Rinuccio in Gianni Schicchi and Baron Kronthal in Der Wildschütz amongst other roles, he moved to the Landestheater Detmold, where his roles included Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly, Faust in Faust, Tom Rakewell in The Rake's Progress and Tamino in Die Zauberflöte.

Hugo Mallet's freelance singing has taken him to the opera houses in Cologne, Rouen and Halle, among others, and his concert career has taken him to Singapore, Lucerne, Moscow, Kofu (Japan), with a repertoire stretching from Bach's B-minor Mass (BWV 232) to Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde.

"With the high tenor of Hugo Mallet , the Domine Deus was full of pastural sweetness and dainty grace - surely one of the many gems of the evening." (The Flying Inkpot - review of the B-minor Mass at the Victoria Hall, Singapore)
"Hugo Mallet as Tamino offered the very best in legato-culture…" (Lippe Aktuell)
"the recording is excellent, thanks to first-class soloists, at the head Katharina Kammerloher, Thomas Quasthoff and Hugo Mallet." (Stereoplay-review of A. Cartellieri', Gioas, Re di Giuda)
