Reader Submission: Alfonso Mujica

Alfonso Mujica

A reader submitted Uruguayan barihunk Alfonso Mujica to the site after finding a video of him singing Mahler’s Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen on YouTube. We knew that there had to be another sexy Uruguayan barihunk other than Erwin Schrott.

Mujica began his career after receiving a grant from the National Fund for Music in Uruguay and getting the top ranking at the Juventudes Musicales. He made his debut singing in Galuppi's chamber opera Il Filosofo di Campagna with the Official Service of Broadcasting, Television and Entertainment of Uruguay (SODRE).

He went on to perform Manuel in de Falla's La Vida Breve, Aeneas in Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, Ping in Puccini's Turandot and Pablo Sorozábal's zarzuela La del Manojo de Rosas. He's also performed numerous oratorios and masses, as well as recitals, often accompanied by a guitar.
