Matteo Ivan Rašić
The new star in the tenor sky
25-year-old Matteo Ivan Rašić is currently thrilling audiences at Gars Castle in Donizetti's "Liebestrank": we asked the Tyrolean-born tenor with Croatian roots to talk to us about soccer, romance and a big dream!
The audience in Gars is blown away by the young tenor, who is playing a delightful Nemorino in Donizetti's "Liebestrank" this summer: It's Innsbruck-born Matteo Ivan Rašić, who was discovered for the Wilten Boys' Choir at the age of six: "I've always been a very active lad, wanted to try everything, and so alongside singing I also learned to play the recorder for 13 years and kicked a ball at SVG Reichenau!" Position? "Right midfield, because I'm fast and have good stamina!" The talent was there too, as his dad, a soccer coach, attested.
"Looking back, it was a super combination of musical, physical and vocal training," says Rašić, who finally made the decision at 16 to hang up his soccer boots and become a singer, having previously been given his first solo role as "Little Vixen" in the Janáček opera at the Tiroler Landestheater. The skepticism of his parents, who fled to Tyrol during the Balkan War, has long since been overcome: "They have always supported me and are incredibly proud," he beams.
