Jaume Aragall i Garriga, better known as Giacomo Aragall, is a Catalan Spanish tenor, born in Barcelona, Spain on 6 June 1939.

After his initial studies in Barcelona under Jaime Francisco Puig, Giacomo Aragall travelled to Milan on a scholarship from the Liceu to study with Maestro Vladimir Badiali. He soon won the Voci Verdi competition in Busseto and, in the same year (1963), made his Italian stage debut at Teatro La Fenice in Verdi's Gerusalemme and his debut at La Scala in the title role of Mascagni's L'amico Fritz. He also sang Il Cavaliere in Paul Hindemith's Cardillac in January 1964 and Rodolfo in La bohème.

The following seasons saw him back at the Liceu as Rodolfo and, in quick succession, at opera houses in Budapest, Venice, Genoa, Palermo, Parma, Modena, Naples, Rome and Turin.

In 1966 he sang Romeo in a memorable performance of Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi at La Scala, opposite Renata Scotto and the young Luciano Pavarotti. He reprised the role two years later in his debut with the Philadelphia Lyric Opera Company. The Romeo part is more often performed by a mezzo-soprano.

For several important international debuts, Aragall sang the role of the Duke of Mantua in Verdi's Rigoletto (Verona, 1965, Covent Garden, the Metropolitan Opera, both 1968, and San Francisco 1973).

Since then, Aragall has appeared in the most important houses in the world in operas including Lucia di Lammermoor, Madama Butterfly, La Favorita, La Traviata, Werther, Faust, Tosca, Manon, Don Carlo, Adriana Lecouvreur, Un Ballo in Maschera and Simon Boccanegra. His repertoire also includes such rarities as Massenet's Esclarmonde, which he performed on the stage (at San Francisco in 1974 and at the Met in 1976) and also recorded with Joan Sutherland (in 1975), and Donizetti's Caterina Cornaro, with Montserrat Caballé.

He has received a number of honours, including the title of Kammersänger at the Wiener Staatsoper. Known for his especially beautiful voice, Aragall's singing and recording career was somewhat limited due to media shyness and stage nerves.

In 1994, he founded the Concurso Internacional de Canto Jaume Aragall, an international singing competition.
