Korean tenor Sehoon Moon has died at the age of 40.<\/p>\n

The Tenor began studying opera at Dankook University in Seoul and joined the Accademia Teatro alla Scala in Milan. He went on to win awards at numerous prizes including the Audience Award and Third Prize at the Tenor Vi\u00f1as International Singing Contest.<\/p>\n

In 2017, he made his debut at the Glyndebourne Festival as the Italian Singer in “Der Rosenkavalier” and went on to sing various roles at the festival including Ernesto in “Don Pasquale,” Nemorino in “L’Elisir d’Amore,” and Rodolfo in “La Boh\u00e8me<\/a>.” He also performed in Malm\u00f6<\/a>, the Royal Opera Muscat, the Bolshoi Theatre, Op\u00e9ra Grand Avignon, and the Grand Theatre in Pozna\u0144.<\/p>\n

Moon was in the midst of a busy 2024-25 season where he was set to perform Alfredo Germont in Verdi’s “La Traviata” at the Glyndebourne Festival and Rodolfo in Puccini’s “La Boh\u00e8me” at Malm\u00f6 Opera.<\/p>\n

Regarding his Rodolfo, OperaWire<\/a> said, “Moon\u2019s trenchant tenor suits nonchalant Rodolfo, and there is a gleam to his playful voice that, again, suggests a life-force at odds with the opera\u2019s drift towards darkness. \u201cChe gelida manina\u201d had a boyish tenderness that marked a journey into weightier, steelier shades by his very final tortured cry of \u201cMim\u00ec.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement, Sono Artists said, “We are devastated by the loss of our Korean tenor Sehoon Moon, who left us on Wednesday. Sehoon, whom we represented since 2017, was an angel of a person, the kindest of souls, who touched everyone who knew him with his personality and voice of extraordinary beauty, and sense of style…We are all immensely sad to lose this very special artist and person.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
