Luigi Alva

Luigi Alva (born Luis Ernesto Alva y Talledo) was a beloved Peruvian operatic tenor who charmed audiences with his silky lyric voice and effortless elegance in Mozart and Rossini roles. Rising to fame in the 1950s and 60s, he became a go-to guy for cheeky lovers and witty noblemen in operas like *Così fan tutte* and *Il barbiere di Siviglia*—tracks you’ll spot in his discography. Known for his crisp diction and sparkling stage presence, Alva collaborated with legends like conductor Herbert von Karajan and shared the spotlight with opera greats at La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera. Though he retired from singing in 1989, his recordings, including those timeless *Così fan tutte* performances, keep his playful artistry alive for new generations of opera nerds.
