Description

UGO UGARO (ITALY, 1914 – PARIS, FRANCE, 4 DECEMBER, 1999)

 

 

 

 

His real name was Ugo Garbaccio. In 1936, he made his concert debut at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice. In 1945, he appeared at the Grattacielo and at the Splendor in San Pier d’Arena in Genoa. It seems he participated only in concerts in Italy. Later, he moved to France and, under the name Ugo Ugaro, performed at provincial opera houses. His repertoire included Scarpia in Tosca, Rigoletto, Nelusko in L’Africaine, Tonio in Pagliacci, Figaro in Il Barbiere di Siviglia, and Renato in Un Ballo in Maschera. After his retirement, he taught singing in Paris, with bass-baritone Michael Vier among his pupils. He made a few records for Pacific in Paris.
