BIOGRAPHY

Born in Santiago de Chile. Rodrigo Orrego studied musical history and voice at
the Universidad Catótica and graduated afterwards with prof. Aldo Baldin at the
Musikhochschule Karlsruhe, Germany.

Already during his studies Rodrigo Orrego performed with famous ensembles and
orchestras (Münchner and Berliner Philharmoniker and English Chamber Orchestra)
in the most outstanding concert halls of the world, such as the Herkulessaal and
Philharmonie Gasteig in Munich, the Musikverein in Vienna and the Seoul Art
Center in Corea. Orrego receives his first contract at the Stadttheater
Darmstadt, where he sings all the important lyric parts. His repertoire contains
the big oratories, as well as Mahler´s “Lied von der Erde” and the 9th Symphonie
by L. van Beethoven. In Bogotá, Colombia, he took part as a soloist in Verdi´s
“Messa da Requiem” under Andrés Orozco. This concert of 2007 was recorded live
for a DVD.

The growth of his voice made Orrego change to more dramatic repertoire. He made
his debut as Hoffmann (Les contes d´Hoffmann) at the Landestheater Linz, a role,
which he also presents in Darmstadt, Gießen, Bern, Brno, Burgos and at the
Teatro Cervantes in Málaga. In Vienna and Munich he sings Tamino in Mozart´s
“Zauberflöte” with the English Chamber Orchestra. The Theater Erfurt wants
Orrego to sing the principal role in “Fernand Cortez” by Spontini and – like a
little later the Teatro Municipal in Santiago de Chile – the part of Cavaradossi
in “Tosca” by Puccini. The Teatro de la Maestranza in Sevilla calls him for the
role of Gonzalvo in Ravel´s “L´Heur Espagnole”. Gießen concludes a contract with
him to sing Foresto in Verdi´s opera “Attila” and Tel Aviv for the role of
Bacchus in “Ariadne auf Naxos” (R. Strauß) and Faust in “Mephistophele” (Arrigo
Boito). Vicenza presents Mozart´s “Zaide” in the Teatro Olímpico. Orrego sings
the part of Soliman. Afterwards he follows calls to sing the parts of Pinkerton
in “Madame Butterfly” (Puccini) and Pollione in “Norma” by Bellini. Santiago de
Chile chooses Orrego for the principal role in the world premiere of the opera
“Fulgor y muerte de Joaquín Murieta” by the Chilean composer Sergio Ortega
(libretto Pablo Neruda), a production, which was celebrated successfuly also in
the Savonlinna Opera Festival in Finland.

In Paris, in the Salle Pleyel, Orrego sings Oswald in Schubert´s opera “Des
Teufels Lustschloss” with the Orchestre Philharmonique du Radio France conducted
by Marek Janowsky. A highlight in the singer´s career was the enormous tenor
part in the opera “Fervaal” by Vincent d´Indys, a monumental oeuvre which was
rediscovered by the Theater Bern.It was presented in concert form and in whole
length in 2009.

In the recent year Orrego expanded his opera repertoire with roles of
lirico-spinto, such as André Chenier (Giordano), Manon Lescaut (Puccini) and
Otello (Verdi). Numerous recordings document the career of the tenor.
