Ingvar Wixell

Ingvar Wixell was one of the leading operatic baritones of the 20th century. He had a commanding stage presence and dark baritone voice that made him suited for the most dramatic roles, but was also highly effective in comic roles. He studied in Stockholm. His first operatic appearance was as Papageno in Mozart's The Magic Flute. His first international appearance came when the Stockholm Royal Opera visited London's Covent Garden in 1960. Then he performed as Ruggiero in Handel's Alcina. His first appearance at Glyndebourne Festival Opera was as Guglielmo in Così fan tutte. ...
