Alexander Jarl Thorsteinsson

Young Icelandic tenor Alexander Jarl Thorsteinsson (*1993) started his vocal education at the age of 6 years old.
By the age of 11, Alexander had sung himself into the heart of Iceland and gave out his first solo CD with full orchestra of his favorite operatic arias and Neapolitan songs. Alexander continued his studies at the opera academy Söngskóli Sigurðar Demez in Reykjavík under the vocal guidance of Gunnar Guðbjörnsson, followed by the Royal Collage of Music under the guidance of Tim Evans-Jones. As a beginning bachelor degree's student, he was deemed to advanced so they jumped him straight to the post graduate diploma; therefore, after one year at the Royal Collage of Music, Alexander had graduated and was ready to start his career in Europe making his debut as Tamino with Opera Avanti in Belgium.
Alexander's most recent performances include his debut as Alfredo in La Traviata with Teatro Goldoni in Livorno, a solo concert tour with orchestra around the south of Iceland with the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra of the South, and he sang as the leading tenor at the Opéra en Mer festival organized by Alain Duault where he performed Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly, Alfredo in  La Traviata, Werther in Werther and Don Jose in Carmen.
