René Pape
Biography
"René Pape’s bass showed considerable velvet sheen and elegant dynamic play; purely as singing and star presence, he impressed."
Born in Dresden, Black Diamond Bass Rene Pape has been a member of the Berlin State Opera since 1988, but considers New York’s Metropolitan Opera his operatic “home away from home.” Since his house debut in 1995, he has appeared every season at the Met, in 18 roles and more than 160 performances, including four major debuts: Méphistophélès in Faust, Gurnemanz in Parsifal, Escamillo in Carmen, and the Old Hebrew in Samson et Dalila. But it was at the famous Unter den Linden – home of the Berlin State Opera – where Pape honed most of the great roles of his career.
Music Director Daniel Barenboim was an early supporter, and the Berlin State Opera has played host to Pape’s performances as King Marke in Tristan und Isolde; King Heinrich in Lohengrin; Sarastro in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte; Pogner in DieMeistersinger; Rocco in Beethoven’s Fidelio; Fasolt in Das Rheingold; Hunding in Die Walküre; and the title role in Don Giovanni. The opera house was also the venue for Pape’s appearances as Ramfis in Verdi’s Aida; Figaro in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro; Leporello in Don Giovanni; and Orest in Strauss’s Elektra. Pape’s first CD of solo arias, Gods, Kings & Demons, was released in 2008 on Deutsche Grammophon with his hometown orchestra, the Staatskapelle Dresden conducted by Sebastian Weigle. The disc won a coveted “ECHO” award, the German equivalent of a Grammy.
Pape performs regularly in major opera houses, concert halls, and symphony orchestras around the world, as well as opera festivals such as Bayreuth, Glyndebourne, Lucerne, Orange, Saint-Petersburg, Salzburg, Verbier and White Nights. He currently resides in Austria and Berlin.

Biography
David Summers Rodríguez (Madrid, España, 26 de febrero de 1964) es un músico español, vocalista y bajista de Hombres G.
Biografía
Músico español multiinstrumentista con estudios de solfeo. Nació en el barrio madrileño de Chamberí el 26 de febrero de 1964. Es hijo del director de cine Manuel Summers y sobrino del periodista Guillermo Summers y líder de una de las bandas más importantes en la música pop-rock en español para adolescentes de la década de los ochenta: Hombres G.
En 1983 salen algunos sencillos de su primer LP que no tuvieron gran trascendencia en ese momento. En 1985 apareció el disco que les abriría el camino de la inmortalidad titulado Hombres G, siendo David el líder del grupo.
Su padre fue el director de la película Sufre mamón en el que se da a conocer el grupo musical en la pantalla grande, basado en el disco homónimo. Más tarde también protagonizaron la película Suéltate el pelo.
En 1992 se casa con su novia de toda la vida, Marta Madruga, y al año siguiente fallece su padre, Manuel Summers.
En 1993 deciden separarse por motivos desconocidos, así que, tanto Rafa Gutiérrez (guitarra lider de Hombres G) como David (bajista y vocalista), deciden comenzar por separado, una época en solitario, por su parte Dany Mezquita (guitarra rítmica) es contratado por Warner Music para desempeñar el puesto de director de mercadotecnia en Dro East y Javy Molina el baterìa se dedicarìa de lleno en las funciones administrativas de sus negocios.
Es en 1994 cuando David publica su primer trabajo en solitario titulado "David Summers". Este trabajo, íntimo, romántico y muy personal, da un giro completo a lo que hasta ahora había hecho. En este disco que con la colaboración de Alejandro Sanz para la canción "De vuelta a casa" para tocar la guitarra española, así como con su esposa, Marta Madruga, para protagonizar juntos el video de su primer single en solitario - donde también participa Dani Mezquita - "El beso y el perfume", disco que dedica a la memoria de su padre.
En 1997 saca su segundo disco en solitario "Perdido en el espacio", producido por Nigel Walker trabajo que está considerado por la crítica especializada como el más rockero de sus producciones en solitario. Un año más tarde, en 1998, lanza un disco cuyas canciones son la mayoría en directo, grabado en el Teatro Metropolitan de México, titulado "En directo desde el Metropolitan". En este trabajo aparecen también algunas versiones de su época de Hombres G, grabadas en directo pero sin público, y también se pueden escuchar un par de canciones inéditas en solitario, como "Eres tu" y "Tú y yo";el disco tiene buena aceptación llegando a vender más de 60.000 unidades.
Años más tarde, en 2001, y tras el nacimiento de sus hijos, Daniel y Lucía, publica el que hasta ahora será su último disco en solitario, "Basado en hechos reales". En donde cuenta con la colaboraciòn de Tito Dàvila exintegrante de la legendaria banda argentina "Enanitos Verdes".Este es el trabajo que mejor crítica ha recibido, ya que nos presenta a un David Summers más maduro.
En 2002, y dado el éxito que siguen teniendo Hombres G en España y en el continente americano, deciden regresar mediante una recopilación de algunos de sus más grandes éxitos, a la que añadieron algunos temas nuevos, así como demos de la banda, la cual llamaron: "Peligrosamente juntos" y que originó un tour internacional por América y parte de Europa, llenando todos los sitios en donde se presentaban.
En el 2011 regraba junto con Reyli Barba la canción El Abandonao del ex integrante del Grupo mexicano Elefante en su disco Bien Acompañado.
Hombres G ha sido y será un grupo de referencia para otras muchas bandas, y siempre ha despertado el cariño y la admiración de sus compañeros de profesión. Prueba de ello son los dos discos tributos que salieron al mercado en 2003: "Voy a pasármelo bien" en España (con la participación de, entre otros: Antonio Vega, Pereza, El Canto del Loco, Mikel Erentxun, Los Secretos, etc.) y "¿Qué te pasa, estás borracho?" en América, en el que participaron músicos muy importantes.
