We recently ran a photo of 31-year-old Croatian bass-baritone, Krešimir Stražanac on our Facebook feed as our "Gratuitous Picture of the Day" [top left photo]. Needless to say it created a bit of buzz amongst our readers. It was subsequently brought to our attention that we've never properly introduced him to readers.
Stražanac studied at the Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Stuttgart. He went on to win the International La Voce Competition of the Bavarian Radio for art song and the International Cantilena Competition in Bayreuth for opera/operetta. In September 2012, he won the International Hugo Wolf Competition in Hugo Wolf's birthplace in Gradec, Slovenia.
