Guido Ciccolini (Tenor) (Roma 1885 - Neptune/New Jersey 1963)

 

 

 

He was a student of famed teacher Antonio Cotogni. He made his debut in Bologna as Alfredo in ‘’La Traviata’’ in 1907. In 1909 he travelled around Belgium and Holland with the opera troupe of Mme de Restier and sang in Amsterdam as Pinkerton in the Dutch premiиre of Puccini’s ‘’Madame Butterfly’’. Guest performances followed in England, Ireland and France. He was very successful in Russia, where he appeared at the Opera Theatres of St. Petersburg and Odessa as well as in Warsaw. In 1911 he undertook with an opera troupe (together with Nellie Melba) an Australia tour. He had a ticket to sail on the "RMS Titanic" (still in his family's possesion) but missed the sailing due to a opera performance scheduling change. In 1914 he sang at the Teatro Lirico in Milan in the Italian premiиre of ‘’I Quattro Rusteghi’’ of Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari. Since 1914 he appeared several times at the Opera Theatre of Boston, in 1915 at Havana (among other things as a Turiddu in ‘’Cavalleria rusticana’’), in the 1918-19 season in Chicago, at the Civic Opera House. There he appeared in ‘’Rigoletto’’, ‘’La Traviata’’, ‘’Il Barbiere di Siviglia’’ and ‘’La Boheme’’. In 1926 he sang in the funeral of his friend, famous actor Rudolph Valentino. He retired from the stage in 1922.
