Generally avoiding the Italian repertoire, which did not suit his voice, Tear became known in leading and character roles in German, British and Russian operas. Tear's concert repertoire was wide, extending from music from the 17th century to contemporary works by Britten, Tippett and others. He conducted for some years from the mid-1980s, but found himself temperamentally unsuited to it. As a teacher at the Royal Academy of Music he was happier, and was well regarded by colleagues and pupils. (en)

  • Robert Tear, CBE, (Barry, 8 marzo 1939 – Hammersmith e Fulham, 29 marzo 2011), è stato un tenore, direttore d'orchestra e insegnante gallese. Si fece conoscere inizialmente cantando nelle opere di Benjamin Britten a metà degli anni '60. Dagli anni '70, fino al suo ritiro nel 1999, la sua principale base operistica fu il Royal Opera House, Covent Garden; apparve con altre compagnie d'opera nel Regno Unito, in Europa continentale, negli Stati Uniti e in Australia. Evitando in generale il repertorio italiano, che non si adattava alla sua voce, Tear divenne noto nei ruoli principali e caratteristici delle opere tedesche, britanniche e russe. Il suo repertorio concertistico era ampio, dalla musica del XVII secolo alle opere contemporanee di Britten, Tippett ed altri. Fu direttore d'orchestra per alcuni anni a partire dalla metà degli anni ottanta, ma si è trovò caratterialmente inadatto. Come insegnante alla Royal Academy of Music era più felice ed era ben considerato da colleghi e allievi. (it)
