After finishing the role of ‘Belcore’ for the Royal Theatre in Madrid earlier this year and recording Figaro for the Swiss Symphony Orchestra - the mecca of opera worldwide, La Scala in Milan, have since offered the Argentinian born powerhouse a major contract in 2009.
Other contracts have also been rushing in from the Lyon Opera, the Liceo in Barcelona, Teatro Real in Madrid and Teatro Reggio Emilia in Turino.
Not to mention the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden showing very serious consideration in securing the extraordinary talents of this rising export star who will be following in the very illustrious footsteps of international Australian operatic stars before him such as Dame Joan Sutherland, Yvonne Kenny and Donald Smith.
