Born in Greece. Dimitris Paksoglou first embarked on a career as an actor and studied at the National Superior School of Drama. As an actor he went on to appear in important Greek theatres, including the ancient theatre of Epidaurus, the Greek National Theatre and the Athens Megaron. He then decided to make a career change and studied singing at the Athens National Conservatory under the guidance of the famous baritone Kostas Paskalis and Marina Krilovici, graduating with distinction. He moved to France where he appeared with several opera companies and his success led Greek National Opera to offer him a contract as a principal tenor. Most recently he performed the title role of Otello at the Croatian National Opera in Rijeka and at the Cultural Centre of Crete in Heraklion and the title role of Don Carlo in Maribor. Future engagements include Manrico Il Trovatore and Cavaradossi Tosca for Estonian National Opera, and a return to Malmö Opera for Roberto Miranda Death and the Maiden.

Greek Dimitris Paksoglou does not sing Cavaradossi with the usual slightly emotional Mediterranean glow. His tenor is more powerfully virile, but also with beautiful splashes of tenderness. He makes his famous song for life with considerable intensity.
AFTONBLADET - Lennart Bromander - Monday 10th February 2020

Dimitris Paksoglou who sang Cavaradossi is a real Italian tenor (although he is Greek) with plenty of power and clear tone up to the highest register.

Reviews:

OTELLO - Croatian National Theatre - October 2022

La Voce del popolo - Helena Labus Bacic - October 7, 2022
L’ospite greco Dimitris Paksoglou, per la prima volta nei panni di Otello, ha “costruito” con particolare coinvolgimento emotivo il suo percorso emotivo da generale vittorioso e sposo innamorato a marito sospettoso, geloso e infine desideroso di vendetta. Dal punto di vista vocale, la sua interpretazione è stata omogenea su tutta l’estensione.

CARMEN - Auditorio de Zaragoza - September 2021

Critica de Musica - Alfonso Bes - 18th September 2021
Dimitris Paksoglou, Don José es impecable en el aire de la flor, la prueba de fuego que la partitura de Bizet reserva al tenor, y que Paksoglou aprovecho muy bien encendiendo una voz de anchura considerable, generosamente dotada de cuerpo y consistencia. Una voz lírica en la zona superior y con fuerte dramatismo en su primera octava. Brillo tambien junto a su Carmen en el dueto del acto 1, afidnado, empastado y ajustado, en esta versión semiescenificada de la ópera Carmen de Bizet.

Malmö Opera - December 2019 - February 2020

AFTONBLADET – Lennart Bromander - Monday 10th February 2020
Grekiske Dimitris Paksoglou sjunger inte Cavaradossi med sedvanligt lätt känslosam mediterran glöd. Hans tenor är mer virilt kraftfull men också med vackra stänk av vekhet. Sin berömda sång till livet gör han med innerlig intensitet; synd bara att den stämning han skapat brutalt bröts av en person i publiken, som vid premiären hysteriskt vrålade bravo, innan arian var riktigt slut.
Greek Dimitris Paksoglou does not sing Cavaradossi with the usual slightly emotional Mediterranean glow. His tenor is more powerfully virile, but also with beautiful splashes of tenderness. He makes his famous song for life with considerable intensity; It's just a shame that the mood he created was brutally broken by a person in the audience, who at the premiere hysterically roared bravo, before the aria was really over.

Capriccio - Lars-Erik Larsson – 23rd December 2019
Dimitris Paksoglou som gör Cavaradossi är en riktigt italiensk tenor (trots att han är grek) med mängder av kraft och klar klang ända upp i det högsta registret.
Dimitris Paksoglou who sang Cavaradossi is a real Italian tenor (although he is Greek) with plenty of power and clear tone up to the highest register.

sverigesradio - Per Feltzin – 20th December 2019
De tre huvudrollerna görs som ofta på Malmö opera av gästande solister av högsta klass. Lianna Haroutounian och Dimitris Paksoglou gör Tosca och Cavaradossi. Paksoglous tenor är närmast mörkt barytonal och Sulimskys baryton är ljust tenoral - och Haroutounians sopran läckert smidig.
The three main roles are often performed at Malmö opera by visiting soloists of the highest class. Lianna Haroutounian and Dimitris Paksoglou make Tosca and Cavaradossi. Paksoglous's tenor is almost dark baritone and Sulimsky's baritone is bright tenoral - and Haroutounian's soprano is deliciously smooth.

SIMON BOCCANEGRA

Critics Corner - Kyriakos Loukakos - 31st March 2019
Celia Costea a real lyrico dramatico voice, which her wealth spread magically in the theater, combined wonderfully with the firm well-built vocalization of the tenor Dimitris Paksoglou as Gabrielle Adorno.

CROATIA MADAME BUTTERFLY

HRT - Radio Rijeka 2019
Dimitris Paksoglou as Pinkerton showed a purity of tone and a beautiful range of voice.

JENUFA - Greek National Opera 2018

O Anagnostis - Helena Houzouri
At the highest standards were the two tenors of the roles Steva and Latsa, Dimitris Paksoglou and the dutch Frank Van Aken. The two tenors with their exceptional banner, intense outstanding stage performance, succeed to brought out with articulation the characteristic differences of the two heroes and their corresponding behaviors.
