2012 Bayreuth Dutchman Evgeny Nikitin, in a former life, was a heavy metal rock ‘n roller. Those days are gone and he’s singing bass-baritone roles on stages the world over.

Remnants of his heavy metal days are imprinted on his body in the form of numerous tattoos. You can see photos of Nikitin flashing his “ink” and read an interview with Nikitin in todays Die Bild.
