Gregory Kunde (February 24, 1954, Kankakee, Illinois) is an American operatic tenor particularly associated with the French and Italian repertoires. For more than twenty five years, Kunde sang the bel canto repertory with great success. After conquering the tenor roles of Donizetti, Bellini, and Rossini, he has now claimed the verismo roles of Verdi and Puccini as his own. Kunde is considering the preeminent tenor of our generation, singing professionally and with tremendous success for nearly fifty years.
