Description

ANGELO SANTINI

 

 

 

He made his debut in 1900 at the Teatro Sociale of Biella in Manon, and by 1901, he was already making guest appearances at the Teatro Nazionale in Bucharest, performing in Faust, Rigoletto, La Bohème, and La Favorita. That same year, Santini also performed in cities across Ukraine (Kharkov, Ekaterinoslav) and Russia (Rostov, St. Petersburg). In 1904, he appeared at the Politeama Genovese in Genoa in Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor. In 1906, he sang the role of Nadir in Bizet’s Les Pêcheurs de Perles at the Teatro Ventidio Basso in Ascoli Piceno. Two years later, he returned to the Teatro Nazionale in Bucharest, this time as Cavaradossi in Tosca and Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly. His final appearance was likely in 1911 at the Teatro Coccia in Novara, where he performed in Gounod’s Faust.
