Bruno Landi (25 April 1900 – 8 May 1968) was an Italian operatic tenor. == Biography == Born in Volterra, Landi was a light lyric tenor "''with a clear voice, considerable extension and issue easy and very well controlled, but frequently resorted to the notes in falsetto''" who debuted in 1925 at Campi Bisenzio in the role of the Duke of Mantua in ''Rigoletto''. In 1927 in Florence he sang in the role of Count Almaviva in Rossini's ''The Barber of Seville''. In 1931 he performed again in ''The Barber of Seville'' at the Teatro Regio of Parma, where he returned in 1939 in ''Faust'', with Magda Olivero, Andrea Mongelli and Tancredi Pasero. In 1933 he sang in ''Gianni Schicchi'' and in ''I quatro rusteghi'' at the Rome Opera House. During 1936 he debuted at the Scala as Fenton in ''Falstaff'', under the direction of Victor De Sabata and a cast which included Maria Caniglia, Mafalda Favero and Mariano Stabile. In 1938 Bruno Landi took part in a tour in the United States, appearing in San Francisco, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, in ''Rigoletto'', ''L'elisir d'amore'', ''L'amico Fritz'' and ''Martha''. At the Metropolitan he was cast for seven seasons. He later left for Latin America, where he sang in Mexico City, Montevideo, Buenos Aires, Caracas, Santiago and Rosario. He returned to La Scala in 1939 for the world premiere of ''La dama boba'' of Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari. In 1947 at the Teatro Pergolesi in Jesi he was the protagonist in ''Manon'' with a very young Renata Scotto. His most popular roles were Count Almaviva in ''The Barber of Seville'' and Des Grieux in ''Manon''. In the forties, at the height of his vocal powers, he recorded two complete works: '' The Barber of Seville '' and ''Rigoletto'', in addition to some individual tracks, now remastered on CD. He retired from the stage at the end of the 1950s and settled in Buenos Aires, where he taught singing with his wife, the Argentinian soprano Hilde Reggiani. He died in Buenos Aires at the age of 68. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bruno Landi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
