莫華倫 Warren Mok
活躍於國際樂壇的華裔男高音莫華倫是當今歌劇領域享負盛名的香港音樂家。莫氏擁有一副優美特殊的戲劇性抒情男高音(lyrical-spinto tenor)歌喉,他能唱的歌劇角色超過五十位。
這幾年間,莫氏在亞洲地區極為活躍,除了擔任演唱之外,他亦從事歌劇製作。他曾在上海為上海歌劇院及上海藝術節製作《羅密歐與茱麗葉》、《卡門》兩齣歌劇,並參與演出。在中國和亞洲,他是西方歌劇與音樂活躍的推動者。
香港歌劇院於二零零三年七月成立,由國際著名的本地男高音莫華倫及一群熱愛歌劇的人士成立,以非牟利慈善團體註冊,為本地首個歌劇藝術組織。從而提昇香港的國際形象及社會質素,並培養本地具潛質的音樂家。香港歌劇院並主力策劃各項教育及外展活動,把歌劇藝術進一步推廣至社會各階層,尤其是年青一代。法國駐港總領事戴博以法國文化部的名義向莫華倫先生授予藝術及文學騎士勳章。他亦經常出席籌款賑災活動表演,為慈善盡心盡力。
