America's leading baritone, ThomasHampson has been recognised for his versatility and breadth of achievement in opera, song, recording, research and pedagogy.
Hampson's operatic roles span a wide range of repertoire from Rossini to Verdi and Puccini and from Monteverdi to Britten and Henze.
In Ambroise Thomas' Hamlet (Monte Carlo and San Francisco) and in the rarely heard baritone version of Massenet's Werther (New York); Père Germont in La Traviata (Zürich); the Marquis of Posa in the original French version of Verdi's Don Carlos (Paris, London, Edinburgh); Wagner's Tannhäuser (Zürich), Busoni's Dr. Faustus (Salzburg), and Szymanowski's King Roger (Birmingham).
ThomasHampson (October 28, 1907 – September 4, 1965) was a British athlete, winner of the 800 m at the 1932 Summer Olympics.
Hampson, a native of Clapham (London), didn't take up running seriously until the last year of his studies at Oxford University.
That made him one of the top favourites for the 800 m gold at the 1932 Olympics, held in Los Angeles, especially since world record holder Ben Eastman was not running the 800 m, concentrating on the 400 m instead.
