Nicolai Ghiaurov (eller Nikolai Gjaurov, bulgariska: Николай Гяуров), född 13 september 1929 i Velingrad i Bulgarien, död 2 juni 2004 i Modena i Italien, var en bulgarisk operasångare, och en av efterkrigstidens mest berömda bassångare. Han var beundrad för sin kraftfulla, storartade röst, och var särskilt förknippad med roller av Verdi. Nicolai Ghiaurov gifte sig med den italienska sopranen Mirella Freni 1978. De två sångarna uppträdde ofta tillsammans. De bodde i Modena i Italien fram till Nicolai Ghiaurov´s död i hjärtattack 2004.

Biografi

Nicolai Ghiaurov föddes i den lilla bergstaden Velingrad i södra Bulgarien. Som barn lärde han sig spela fiol, piano och klarinett. Han inledde sina musikaliska studier vid den bulgariska statens konservatorium 1949 under professor Christo Brambarov. Från 1950 till 1955 studerade han vid Moskvas konservatorium.

Nicolai Ghiaurov karriär inleddes 1955 när han vann en internationell sångtävling i Paris och den femte världsungdomsfestivalen i Prag. Ghiaurov gjorde sin operadebut 1955 som Don Basilio i Rossinis Barberaren i Sevilla iSofia i Ungern. Han debuterade i Italien 1957 i Teatro comunale i Bologna, innan han startade sin internationella karriär med sin tolkning av Varlaam i operan Boris Godunov på La Scala 1959. 1962 debuterade Ghiaurov på Covent Garden som Padre Guardiano i Verdis Ödets makt och sitt första framträdande i Salzburg i Verdis Requiem under Herbert von Karajan.

Nicolai Ghiaurov delade scen för första gången med Mirella Freni 1961 i Genua. Hon som Marguerite och han djävulen i Faust av Gounod. De gifte sig 1978 och var bosatta i hennes hemstad Modena. Han gjorde sin amerikadebut i Faust 1963 på operan i Chicago, och kom att göra tolv roller där, inklusive titelrollerna i Musorgskijs Boris Godunov, Massenets Don Quichotte och Boitos Mefistofele.

Nicolai Ghiaurov debuterade på Metropolitan Opera den 8 november 1965 som Mephistopheles. Där gjorde han totalt åttioen framträdanden med tio roller, sist den 26 oktober 1996 som Sparafucile i Rigoletto. Under sin karriär har han också uppträtt vid Moskvas Bolsjojteater, i Wiener Staatsoper, Covent Garden, Wienoperan och Parisoperan.

I slutet av 1970-talet Ghiaurov sjöng titelnrollen i den första kompletta stereoinspelningen av Massenets Don Quichotte.

”Han hade ett fantastiskt sånginstrument, och en mycket generös i storlek, varm i klangfärg, mörk i färgen. Han har byggt upp resonansfrekvenserna tonen i hans kommando med generositet, och med särskilda lätta på burnished början.” kommentarer Martin Bernheimer i Ghiaurovs dödsruna i Opera News.
