WELCOME TO ANTONIO SOTO SITE
Antonio Soto (Montevideo, 1955) is a lyrical singer of the bass string, with an extensive career in his country and abroad. His first performances on the lyrical scene were at a young age (October 1977); although he had already ventured into other genres, mainly from the River Plate popular repertoire (Tango and folklore), appearing on various stages in the city of Madrid and Spanish RTV when he was barely 16 years old.
Parallel to his artistic activity, he was the founder and main promoter of the Sociedad Urugruaya Pro Opera, a non-profit organization that from 1985 and for almost 14 years produced the best presented opera titles that can be remembered in Uruguay, as well as as concerts of the highest level such as those led by the tenors Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras (the latter on two occasions), the baritone Sherril Milnes, the mezzo-soprano Fiorenza Cossotto, the sopranos Leona Mitchell and Katia Ricciarelli, among a very important group of celebrities from the world lyric scene, as well as a well-remembered presentation of the Bolshoi ballet of Moscow, with its star Maria Plisetkaya.
