Valentino Urbani
:''For the ancient people of Sardinia, see Valentini (ancient people).''
Valentino Urbani (born in Udine;〔''A biographical dictionary of actors, actresses, musicians, dancers, managers & other stage personnel in London'': 1660-1800. (See this page ).〕 ''fl.'' 1690–1722〔''Joyce’s Grand Operoar: Opera in Finnegans Wake'' by Matthew John Caldwell Hodgart, Ruth H. Bauerle〕) was an Italian alto castrato〔''The Cambridge Companion'' ''to Handel'' by Donald Burrows〕〔Philip H. Highfill; Kalman A. Burnim; Edward A. Langhans. ''A biographical dictionary of actors, actresses, musicians, dancers, managers & other stage personnel in London, 1660-1800''.〕 who sang for the composer George Frideric Handel in the 18th century. He was known by the stage name Valentini. He sang the role of Eustazio at the première of Handel’s ''Rinaldo'', the role of Silvio at the premiere of ''Il pastor fido'', and the role of Egeo at the first performance of ''Teseo''. His powers of singing seem to have been limited and by the time of his Handel roles his voice was declining but he is reputed to have been a fine actor.
Charles Burney noted that "his voice was feeble, and his execution moderate", but Cibber praises his acting enthusiastically: "his hearers bore with the absurdity of his singing the part of Turnus in ''Camilla'', all in Italian, while every other character was sung and recited in English".
Urbani was the first castrato to sing regularly in London,〔George J. Buelow, Hans Joachim Marx. 1983. ''New Mattheson Studies''.〕〔''British Theatre and the Other Arts'', 1660-1800 by Shirley Strum Kenny〕 where he created a sensation〔''Interculturalism and resistance in the London theater, 1660-1800'': ''identity, performance, empire'' by Mita Choudhury. Lewisburg: Bucknell University Press; London: Associated University Presses, 2000. (Page 44 ).〕 and made his début at Drury Lane in 1707. He sang in many different ''pasticcios'' and several bilingual operas – operas that were sung in both Italian and English – and had a benefit concert each year. His last known dramatic appearance was in Hamburg in 1722. He had earlier sung at Venice, Parma, Rome, Bologna, and Genoa.
