Robert William Crowe is an American operatic sopranist (male soprano) and musicologist.[1]
Life and career
Crowe was born in Escondido, California. After studying at Millsaps College and Boston University School for the Arts he made his debut as sopranist in 1992. In 1995 he sang the role of Cherubino in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro at Des Moines Metro Opera.
His repertoire extends from Renaissance to contemporary music, but he focuses on the Italian baroque opera of the 18th and early 19th century.
His recordings between the mid 1990s and 2010 are of importance for the rediscovery of the vocal music from the late Baroque and early Classic period.
