Ville Rusanen

In his first season outside Helsinki, Ville Rusanen garnered excellent reviews for his appearances as Guglielmo in David McVicar’s production of Cosi fan tutte for Scottish Opeara. He will go on to make his debut this season with De Nederlandse Opera in a new opera by Alexander Raskatov – A Dog’s Heart – based on the novel by Bulgakov.

In concert, Ville Rusanen has performed Fauré's Requiem, Brahms' Ein deutsches Requiem, the St John Passion, the St Matthew Passion, Carmina Burana and Sibelius' Kullervo. He made his London debut at the 2007 BBC Proms in a performance of Sibelius’ The Tempest with the Lahti Symphony Orchestra conducted by Osmo Vänskä.

First prize winner of the 2004 Lappeenranta Solo Voice Competition, Ville Rusanen began his musical studies as an instrumentalist, playing the double bass at Kuopio Conservatory where he also studied singing under Pertti Rusanen. He moved to the Sibelius Academy to study singing in 1999 where he was taught by Jorma Hynninen, and then later by Päivi Nisula Recipient of a scholarship from the city of Kuopio, Ville Rusanen has participated in master classes with Roger Vignoles and Olaf Bär, studied Lieder with Ilmo Ranta, and won first prize in the Lied duo (accompanied by Ilmari Räikkönen) category of the 2002 Erkki Melartin Chamber Music Competition.
