Profile of Ivan Rebroff on Famous Like Me

Ivan Rebroff (born 31 July 1931 on a Berlin train platform two month premature) is a German singer with an extraordinary vocal range of four and a half octaves; this is in the soprano to bass registers.

Rebroff is famous for singing Russian folk songs (his parents are Russian immigrants), but also sings opera, light classics and folk songs from many countries. His stage performances have stunned audiences with their gusto, and occasional consumption of a fine red wine.

Rebroff describes himself as international, the 'connection between 'East and West' and lives on the Sporade Island of Skopelos, Greece. Ivan has performed over 6,000 concerts in his career including a two year 7 day a week stint at the French opera. Being well in his 70s in a recent Australian tour Ivan still performed 12 shows in 14 days.
