艺人介绍

American tenor,  John Osborn, was born in Sioux City, Iowa.  He attended primary and secondary school, and was heavily involved in music and athletics while growing up in Iowa.  Throughout his years at Bishop Heelan Catholic High School, he was often a featured soloist at various honor and choir festivals.  He was also a folk-style wrestling champion of the Sioux Interstate conference in 1990.  His continuing education includes a Bachelor of Music Degree in Vocal Performance from Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa.  He studied voice with Anne Larson, an accomplished mezzo soprano while at Simpson, and was a winner of the 1994 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions when he was only 21 years old.  This immediately gave him international attention.  Mr. Osborn was an invited member of the Metropolitan Opera Young Artist Development Program in the fall of 1994.  He continued his vocal studies with Edward Zambara, a Greek-American bass, who was teaching at The Juilliard School.  As a member of the Met YADP, he studied several songs, arias and roles under distinguished Met coaches as Nico Castel, Susan Webb, Robert Cowart, Dennis Giocque, Donna Racik, and Stephen Eldridge.  He also appeared in masterclasses with several important artists as Hermann Prey, Régine Crespin, Carlo Bergonzi, Eduardo Müller, Barbara Bonney, Sherill Milnes, Ileana Cortrubas, and Regina Resnik, to name a few.  He was also First Prize Winner of the 1996 Operalia Voice Competition of Placido Domingo in Bordeaux, France.

His experiences and training have helped launch him into a prominent  international opera career.  Today, we find him singing in important opera houses from San Francisco to Tokyo, and he is making regular appearances with world renowned orchestras from Seattle to Moscow.  Mr. Osborn in 2012 became the first non-italian to win the Aureliano Pertile Tenor Award in Asti, Italy. He is also recipient of a 2011 Goffredo Petrassi Award for his contributions to Italian culture in performances as Arnold Melchtal in GUILLAUME TELL by Gioacchino Rossini with Antonio Pappano and the Orchestra and Chorus of L’Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome, Italy.

John Osborn’s 2012-13 season included many important role and house debuts.  In only his second production of ROMEO ET JULIETTE, he took on the role of Roméo in the prestigious Arena di Verona.  Directly coordinated by his debut performances of Idreno in SEMIRAMIDE by Rossini with Rossini Fest Bad Wildbad, he recorded the opera released on Naxos Records in summer of 2013.  He soon made his debut with Opera Classica Europa as Duca di Mantua in RIGOLETTO by Verdi alongside his wife, Lynette Tapia, as Gilda.  Performing this enchanting and popular opera in castle courtyards across central Germany have been a momentous highlight of his career.  He debuted as Roberto in ROBERTO DEVEREUX by Gaetano Donizetti opposite Edita Gruberova as the Queen in Opernhaus Zürich.

He finished his 2012 season with performances of his last Conte d’Almaviva in IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA with the San Diego Opera.  He has decided to retire the role, along with other Rossini comic operas in order to continue his work in the more serious and heroic Rossini roles, as well as important French lyric roles which he plans to continue to model as the future of his career.
