Tatiana Troyanos - W. A. Mozart "Le Nozze di Figaro" Cherubino's Aria Non So Piu Cosa Son, Cosa Faccio
Conductor: Karl Böhm
Chorus & Orchestra: Der Deutschen Oper Berlin
Recording: Hamburg 1968

U.S. mezzo-soprano Tatiana Troyanos (Sept. 12, 1938, New York - Aug. 21, 1993, New York), was renowned for her dark, warm, emotional voice; also a skilled actress, she had a wide repertoire, much of which she recorded. Troyanos first studied piano before an interest in singing developed during her teenage years. After high school she studied at the Juilliard School, New York City, and with Hans Heinz. She then sang in summer stock and on Broadway and in 1963 made her debut with the New York City Opera. In the 1965-66 season Troyanos began a 10-year association with the Hamburg State Opera; among the highlights of her years there was creation of the role of Jeanne in the world premiere of Krzysztof Pendereckis The Devils of Loudon (1969). She had earlier gained wide European acclaim, however, as the Composer (one of the trouser roles with which she became identified) in Richard Strausss Ariadne auf Naxos at the 1966 Aix-en-Provence (France) Festival. Troyanos sang the title role in Handels Ariodante at the opening of the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., in 1971 and made her Metropolitan Opera debut in 1976 as Octavian in Strausss Der Rosenkavalier. Other roles for which she was especially known include Cherubino in Mozarts The Marriage of Figaro, the title role in Bizets Carmen, Santuzza in Mascagnis Cavalleria rusticana, and Countess Geschwitz in Bergs Lulu. In 1992 Troyanos created the role of Queen Isabella in Philip Glasss The Voyage at the Metropolitan.

This was a very young Tatyana, making a name for herself in Europe after a year on Broadway in the original cast of The Sound of Music and a non-spectacular debut at New York City Opera. She returned to New York and the Met. I saw her Lyric Opera debut as Charlotte - very special as it was my first professional opera. She also gave a wonderful recital years later at the Auditorium - and no one came! I later heard her do Eboli. She was fantastic!

RIP, Tatyana. You are missed.
