Nicola Zaccaria

Nicola Zaccaria was a distinguished Greek operatic bass, known for his rich, resonant voice and commanding stage presence. He gained international acclaim during the mid-20th century, particularly for his performances in the Italian repertoire. Zaccaria collaborated with many of the top opera stars of his time, including Maria Callas, and worked with legendary conductors like Herbert von Karajan. His voice added depth and authority to key bass roles in operas by Verdi, Puccini, Bellini, and Donizetti.

He was a regular presence at major opera houses, including La Scala in Milan, where he became a staple performer during the 1950s and 1960s. Across his career, Zaccaria left an indelible mark on recordings of classic operas, and his interpretations remain influential among opera aficionados. His artistry and vocal finesse continue to be celebrated through numerous reissues of his performances, capturing the golden era of opera in which he was a central figure.
