Ugo Ugaro (Baritone) (Italy 1914 – Paris, France 4 December 1999)




His real name was Ugo Garbaccio. In 1936 he made his debut in concert at the Teatro La Fenice in Venezia. In 1945 he appeared at the Grattacielo and at the Splendor a San Pier d'Arena in Genova. I think in Italy he participated only in concerts. Later he went to France and under the name Ugo Ugaro performed at the provincial opera houses. His repertoire included Scarpia in ‘’Tosca’’, Rigoletto, Nelusko in ‘’Africana’’, Tonio in ‘’Pagliacci’’, Figaro in ‘’Barbiere di Siviglia’’ and Renato in ‘’Ballo in maschera’’. After his retirement, he taught singing in Paris and among his pupils was bass-baritone Michael Vier. He made a few records for Pacific in Paris.

  2. Congratulations for the amazing work you have been doing! It's really important to collect all these stories in order to keep them alive for us who love opera and classical music. I live in Greece and I wish the love of this art could be spread more all over the greek society. However, the National Opera of Greece is doing a great work and brings us plays that we had never the chance to watch in the past. You can take a look here https://www.nationalopera.gr/en/. This year's performance schedule is quite interesting!
