About me
IT IS THE TYPE OF STORY THAT IS VERY RARE BUT ACTUALLY DOES HAPPEN SOMETIMES.
A YOUNG MAN FROM NOWHERE APPEARS ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE.
THE VERY PROMISING BEGINNING OF AN INTERNATIONAL CAREER.
SAIMIR PIRGU – ONLY A FEW YEARS AGO, NOBODY KNEW THIS EXOTIC SOUNDING NAME.
NOR WAS ANYONE FAMILIAR WITH THE FACE OF THIS LIKEABLE YOUNG MAN. NOT TO MENTION HIS VOICE...
Now all that has changed. Saimir Pirgu has already sung in Bolzano, Ferrara, Pesaro, Bologna, Roma, Firenze, Londra, Parigi, Madrid, Valencia, Zurigo, Berlino, Amburgo, Monaco, Los Angeles, Santa Fe, Washington, Tokyo ,as well as the Vienna State Opera, London Royal Opera House, Salzburg Festival, end Metropolitan Opera New York. And more important engagements are coming up...
