Gregory Kunde made his European debut as Nadir in Bizet's Les Pecheurs des Perles in Nice. Since that time, he has become well known for his interpretations of some of the most challenging tenor roles in the world's most notable opera venues, including Paris' Opera Comique and Bastille, Deutsche Oper in Berlin, Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, and Teatro alla Scala. In North America, he is a regular guest of, among others, the Metropolitan Opera, Santa Fe Opera, and Opera Orchestra of New York. His discography is extensive, and includes a DVD of the Chatelet's new landmark production of the Berlioz epic Les Troyens - named as Gramophone's DVD of the Year 2005, and the newly released Benvenuto Cellini of Berlioz on the Virgin Classics label - winner of Gramophone's prestigious Opera Recording of the Year 2005.
