Zoran Todorovich,
born in Belgrade, has already become an internationally acknowledged lyric tenor. After studies in Frankfurt/Main and Munich and his first engagement in Detmold, Zoran joined Lower Saxony‘s State Theatre Ensemble in Hannover at the beginning of the 1994/95 season.
He made his first international debut in February 1996 as Duca in Rigoletto, with Leo Nucci in the title role, under Maestro Gandolfi at Sevilla‘s Teatro della Maestranza.
Zoran definitely established his international breakthrough with his performance as Pinkerton in Madame Butterfly at Vienna‘s State Opera. and as Tito in a new production of La Clemenza di Tito at the Teatro Real in Madrid. Then followed debuts at Hamburg‘s State Opera as Alfredo in La Traviata, as Rodolfo in La Boheme and Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor.
With his role as Pinkerton, Zoran Todorovich presented himself for the first time to Berlin audiences at both the State Opera and the Deutsche Opera, where he also sang the role of Alfredo in Götz Friedrich‘s newest production of La Traviata as well as Faust in Gounod‘s opera of the same name. Moreover, Zoran sang the role of Lensky in a new production of Tschaikowsky‘s Eugene Onegin at the Frankfurt Opera and soon after that not only sang the role of Leopold in La Juive at the State Opera in Vienna but also Alfredo in La Traviata.
Zoran‘s American debut in La Boheme at the San Francisco Opera was a tremendous success. His interpretation of Lensky in a new production of Eugene Onegin at the Opera de Nice (with Hendricks, Chernov, Salminen) as well as his debut at the Zürich Opera as Alfredo won him magnificent acclaim. Further that same year saw him as Rodolfo at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich.
The following season he sang in a new series of La Juive at the State Opera in Vienna and then in a new production of Eugen Onegin at the New National Theater in Tokyo and later as Faust in a new Zürich production of La Damnation de Faust. The season came to a close with roles in Eugene Onegin in Brussels, Madame Butterfly in Tokyo and an appearance at a Concert Gala in Vienna‘s Theatre on the occasion of its 200th anniversary.
In 2002 Zoran Todorovich was invited to sing in La Traviata at the Macao Festival. He also sang Alfredo at Opera Houses in Hamburg and Frankfurt, in Madame Butterfly in Berlin and Munich along with another grandiose success at the San Francisco Opera, this time under Donald Runiccles. In addition, he sang the role of Pollione in a concert performance with the Vlaamse Opera in Antwerp and made his debut as Dimitry in a new production of Boris Godunov at the Opera in Lyon.
Zoran again sang the part of Pollione, but this time with Edita Gruberova in the title role, at the State Opera Houses in Munich, Berlin as well as in San Francisco. Edita and Zoran both starred in a new production of Roberto Devereux not only in Munich and Vienna but also in a series of concert performances of this opera in Cologne, Dortmund and Duisburg.
The 2004/2005 season included five concert performances of Tosca in Tel Aviv under conductor Zubin Mehta, La Boheme at the Santa Cruz Opera House on the island of Tenerife, Tosca at the State Opera in Berlin as well as a Verdi Gala at the Opera in Brussels.
