Neil Shicoff
(born
June 2, 1949
) is an American Jewish
opera
singer and cantor known for his lyric
tenor
singing and his dramatic, emotional acting.
In 1976, Shicoff made his debut at the
Metropolitan Opera
as Rinuccio in
Gianni Schicchi
conducted by Levine. Shicoff was then engaged by the Met to sing the tenor leads in
Rigoletto
,
La Bohème
,
Der Rosenkavalier
, and
Werther
, which was to become one of his signature roles.
He soon sang in the major opera houses in the
U.S.
and
Europe
, winning great notices and recording some of his roles. In recent seasons, Shicoff sang the roles of Cavaradossi in
Tosca
and Hoffmann at La Scala and Paris’
Opéra Bastille; Des Grieux in
Manon Lescaut
; Don José in
Carmen
at the
Lyric Opera of Chicago
and the Zurich Opera House and Eleazar in
Halévy's
La Juive
at the
Teatro La Fenice
in Venice, with Wiener Staatsoper and the Zurich Opera House, Peter Grimes at the
Teatro Regio di Torino. He has sung also Edgardo in
Lucia di Lammermoor
, the title role in
Idomeneo
, and Rodolfo in
La bohème
at the Wiener Staatsoper;
Luisa Miller
(Rodolfo) at the Met; Gabriele Adorno in
Simon Boccanegra
at Covent Garden and in Paris; Hermann in
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's
'Pique Dame'; and Manrico, Cavaradossi and Pinkerton in
Madama Butterfly
at the Zurich Opera House, among others. A regular at
Wiener Staatsoper
(where he attained the rank of Kammersänger and the rarely awarded honorary lifetime membership in the company) he continues to triumph mostly in the verismo repertoire, but in February 2011 he repeated his huge success in the role of Captain Vere in
Benjamin Britten's
Billy Budd
which he sang in the company premiere of the opera in 2002.
