MARIO SOLOMONOFF, bass baritone, reciter, actor.
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Mario Solomonoff began his musical education with classical guitar, and later turned to singing. After abandoning his architecture studies, he was accepted by audition to the Instituto Superior de Arte del Teatro Colón, and subsequently performed in several institutions throughout his country before moving to Europe, where he resided for almost nine years.
In 1964, he won First Prize in Voice at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, and made his professional operatic debut as Don Basilio in Rossini's "The Barber of Seville", sung in French at the Théâtre Municipal de Rennes (France). He was a finalist in the Geneva singing competition, and in 1965 he received the Diploma di Benemerenza at the "G. Verdi" competition in Busseto (Italy). That same year, he was chosen by conductor Gianandrea Gavazzeni to sing the role of Colline in Puccini's "La Bohème", after winning his category at the competition in Reggio-Emilia (Italy). He performed the role in various Italian cities and in the former Yugoslavia, alongside renowned artists such as Luciano Pavarotti and Mirella Freni.
As a soloist with the Camerata di Cremona, he performed at the Piccola Scala in Milan, and later portrayed the King in Verdi's "Aida" and Pascual in Arrieta's "Marina" at the Gran Teatro del Liceo in Barcelona. He was again contracted by the Liceo for the "Festivales de España 1968".
Mario Solomonoff gave numerous concerts with the RAI orchestra in Milan, the Camerata Philarmonica in Frankfurt, and the Maison de l'ORTF in Paris.
From 1973 to 2006, he performed uninterruptedly for thirty-four consecutive seasons at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires as a member of the soloists ensemble, as well as in various cities throughout Latin America.
In 1991, he set a true record by performing fifty-one performances of "The Barber of Seville" in Buenos Aires, and was the soloist in the Homage Concert to the Teatro Colón, which had been declared a National Historic Monument. He bid a final farewell to the stage in 2011, after a career spanning fifty-two years. In addition to his artistic activities, he has taught at the Universidad del Salvador de Buenos Aires, the Instituto Superior de Arte del Teatro Colón, and the Teatro Argentino de La Plata. He has served on juries for the selection of singers and voice teachers, and in 2009 he was invited to France to give master classes.
Solomonoff is the author of the book "MUSICAL JOURNEY THROUGH SINGING" (Ed. 2018), a text on the history of the human voice in music, rich in anecdotes, which includes an appendix on the correct pronunciation of French in operatic singing.
