ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Nils Olov Håkan Hagegård, born November 25, 1945 in Karlstad, is a Swedish opera and concert singer (baritone), appointed court singer in 1985.
As a 12-year-old, Hagegård saw his first opera performance, Rigoletto at the Värmlandsoperan, and was completely taken. He made his stage musical debut in 1965 as Erik in Värmlänningarna on the outdoor stage in Ransäter.
Hagegård studied at the Academy of Music in Stockholm and the Mozarteum in Salzburg in Austria. He took lessons from, among others, Tito Gobbi, Gerald Moore and Erik Werba. At the Stockholm Opera he debuted in 1968 as Papageno in The Magic Flute, a role he also took on seven years later in Ingmar Bergman’s film adaptation. There he was then employed in 1970. The same year he made his first appearance at Drottningholm Palace Theater as Pacuvio in Rossini’s Pietro del Paragone. His debut at the Metropolitan in New York came in 1978 as Malatesta in Don Pasquale. Since then he has appeared in opera productions at, among others, Carnegie Hall, Glyndebourne Festival Opera, Covent Garden, La Scala, Wiener Staatsoper, Opera Bastille, Concertgebouw, Sydney Opera House and Deutsche Oper Berlin. He has also made a name for himself as a romance singer.
The roles include the Count in The Marriage of Figaro, Guglielmo in Così fan tutte, the Count in Capriccio and Wolfram in Tannhäuser. For the general public, however, Hagegård is probably best known as Papageno in Ingmar Bergman’s recording of The Magic Flute. More modern roles include Beaumarchais in Corigliano’s The Ghosts of Versailles and the officer in Lidholm’s Ett drömspel from 1992.
Hagegård became a member of the Royal Academy of Music (1989). He left the work at the academy in 2018 after accusations of sexual harassment at the music schools in Oslo and Stockholm. Hagegård is the first holder of the Birgit Nilsson Professorship in singing at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm, a position named after opera soprano Birgit Nilsson, and holds a professorship at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo.
He is the founder of Hagegården (now Enggården), a musical cultural center in Gunnarsbyn in Brunskog in Värmland. He is also a member of the Värmland Academy. In 2000, he was awarded an honorary doctorate at Karlstad University.
In 2010, Hagegård founded Singers Studio in Stockholm, following the pattern of the vocational school Actors Studio in New York. There, singers, composers and librettists get the opportunity to work with and test musical material. Together they can investigate the possibilities and difficulties of the material. The business also offers Master classes, individual lessons, lectures and concerts. All program elements except the individual teaching are open to the public.
Hagegård has previously been married to the American singer Barbara Bonney, and is the cousin of the tenor Erland Hagegård.
