Kristinn Sigmundsson

Opera singer (bass, occasionally baritone) from Reykjavík, Iceland, who studied biology and chemistry before he decided to become a classical opera singer in his home country in the mid-1980s. Toward the end of the decade, in about 1989, Kristinn decided to leave Iceland in order to start an international career, which turned out very promising: it should not take long any more until he finally got the chance to perform at the world's renowned opera houses (such as the Metropolitan Opera in New York, U.S.A., the Scala in Milan, Italy, and the Staatsoper in Vienna, Austria - to name the most notable ones).
