Reviews

The Italian bass Gianluca Buratto sang the role of the assassin Sparafucile. He has a dark and deep sound, covered and round throughout his whole register. He demonstrated his voice control by singing “Sparafucile mi nomino” in an exquisite mezza voce, and his secure strong low register by holding his last low F till the very last bar of music, which provoked a spontaneous applause from the audience. He was aggressive in his short intervention in the third act with his voice well projected during the “storm scene” as his voice carried over the orchestra and soloist in forte easily. And he concluded his performance with another impressive low note, the low G-flat in “Buona notte.”
