Vladimir Andreyevich Atlantov[a] (born 19 February 1939) is a Soviet and Russian operatic tenor.
The same year he was awarded the silver medal at the Glinka vocal competition and was allowed to go to Milan, Italy to study at the Teatro alla Scala.
After his return from Italy, Atlantov sang Alvaro in the Kirov opera's La forza del destino.
Sol Hurok heard him in the part and invited him to sing at the New York Metropolitan Opera which would have been Atlantov's first foreign tour.
In 1978 he was one of seven tenors invited to sing in the Teatro San Carlo in Naples on the occasion of Enrico Caruso's 100th anniversary.
In 1988, Atlantov left Russia and the Bolshoy Opera, and continued his career in Europe.
