Mumbai boy Amar Muchhala, who is the only tenor (the highest of the ordinary adult male range) to join the big bad world of opera singing, is performing in the city this month. Muchhala, who was born in Mumbai and studied Business Management and French literature at Franklin and Marshall College, USA, pursued an operatic career after his opera studies at the world renowned opera course at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London. Having naturally transitioned to the lyric repertory, he remains focused on a variety of lyric roles from the Italian, German and Slavic repertory. Excerpts from an interview.
