Tullio Verona (Tenor) (1897 - Milano 1939)
Another totally forgotten italian tenor who, after having studied in Padua with Palumbo, made his debut as baritone. Later he changed voice from baritone to tenor and in 1925 made his second debut in ‘’Ernani’’ at the Politeama Sampierdarenese in Sampierdarena. He had a successful career and sang in the famous Italian opera stages: at Milan’s La Scala, at the opera houses of Bologna, Verona, Palermo, Roma, Trieste and Genova. He made guest appearances in Cairo (Teatro Kedivhiale 1927), 's-Gravenhage (Gebouw voor Kunsten en Wetenschappen 1928), Amsterdam (Teatro Carrи 1928), Rotterdam (Groote Schouwburg 1929) and London (Covent Garden 1930). In 1929 Verona appeared at La Scala as Licinio in G. Spontini’s ‘’La Vestale’’. He retired from the stage in 1938. Verona’s main roles included Radames in ’’Aida’’, Canio in ‘’Pagliacci’’, Otello in G. Verdi’s ‘’Otello’’, Don Alvaro in ‘’La Forza del Destino’’ and Don Jose in ‘’Carmen’’.
