Alfonso Mujica
Baritone
“Alfonso Mujica won the prize as far as soloists is concerned, due to the softness and roundness of his voice, his style and line of his singing, and his great power when it comes to nuances and the emotions of the work, and that it culminated with a sad and moving Cira mea pectora.” Forum Opera, Carmna Burana at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, 2017
