Tito Gobbi (1913 - 84)

A very few operatic artists gain a great reputation for their vocal talent and for their ability to create a believable character on stage. Tito Gobbi was such artist; one who could distil the essence of his roles thus offering his audiences a complete and unforgettable experience. Like a famous baritone predecessor Mariano Stabile (1888-1968) Gobbi’s legacy is of highly individual performances - in the theatre, on film, and in countless recordings - that remain benchmarks for succeeding generations.
