His performance in Verdi's "Rigoletto" is celebrated for its depth and power, while his role in "Nabucco," recorded in 1961, showcases his ability to convey the nuance and complexity of Verdi's characters. Vinco also made a significant impact on the interpretation of Donizetti's operas, and his renditions in "Lucia di Lammermoor" reveal an exceptional blend of technical prowess and emotional intensity. Not to be overlooked are his performances in Bellini's "I Capuleti e i Montecchi" and Ponchielli's "La gioconda," which further exhibit his versatility as an opera singer.
