Internationally renowned tenor Aldo Baldin was born in Urussanga, Brazil. He began his musical education studying piano and cello, and later began vocal instruction with Eliane Sampaio. Legendary conductor Karl Richter was impressed by the beauty of Baldin's voice and arranged for him to study in Germany. Baldin continued his vocal studies at the Musikhochschule of Frankfurt, with Margarethe von Winterfeldt in Berlin, and with Conchita Badia and Noëmi Perugia in Paris. From 1975 to 1977, Baldin was engaged as a concert singer at Pfalztheater Kaiserslautern and was the first lyric tenor at the National Theatre of Mannheim. He was especially noted for his roles in Mozart's operas such as Arbace in Idomeneo and Tamino in The Magic Flute. Baldin also sang acclaimed interpretations of Alfredo in La Traviata, Alfred in Die Fledermaus, and David in The Mastersingers of Nuremberg. His splendid solos in oratorios and religious choral works drew him special appreciation. At the 1987 Salzburg Festival, he sang in Dvorák's Stabat Mater and, at the same festival in 1988, in Handel's Messiah and Mozart's Mass in C minor. With conductor Helmuth Rilling, Baldin recorded all of Bach's cantatas involving a tenor voice. He also recorded other religious works, such as the Mozart and Donizetti Requiems. His concert tours covered the whole world. In 1979, Baldin served as a lecturer at the Musikhochschule of Heidelberg and, in 1983, he was appointed a professor at the Musikhochschule of Karlsruhe.
