Norwegian lyric tenor Martin Enger Holm performs Ferrando’s aria “In qual fiero contrasto… Tradito, schernito” from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s opera Così fan tutte.

Recorded during his time with the Upper Austrian Opera Studio, this performance highlights one of Mozart’s finest tenor roles. Ferrando’s aria demands lyrical elegance, expressive phrasing and effortless vocal flexibility, making it a cornerstone of the classical tenor repertoire.

Martin has performed Ferrando on stage during his professional career, and this recording demonstrates both the lyrical warmth and musical sensitivity that define his interpretation of Mozart’s music.

This video serves as both a performance sample and a showcase of Martin’s work within the classical operatic repertoire, illustrating his experience with one of Mozart’s most celebrated operas.
