Carlo Tagliabue

Carlo Tagliabue (1898–1978) was an esteemed Italian baritone, revered for his profound interpretations of Verdi and verismo roles. Born in Mariano Comense, his vocal prowess became apparent early on, leading to his debut in 1922 as Germont in "La traviata." Throughout his impressive career that extended over three decades, Tagliabue cultivated a reputation as one of the most distinguished baritones of his time, not only in Italy but across the opera-loving world.

Tagliabue's rich timbre and robust vocal technique allowed him to traverse the diverse demands of operatic baritone roles with ease. From the depth of Rigoletto to the passion of Don Carlo in "La forza del destino," his performances were marked by emotional intensity and vocal elegance. His recorded works, such as "Verdi: La forza del destino," "Donizetti: La favorita," "Mascagni: L'amico Fritz (Live)," and "Zandonai: Francesca da Rimini," are treasured pieces that continue to underscore his legacy. Compilations such as "Il mito dell'opera: Carlo Tagliabue (Recorded 1928-1951)" and volumes of "Lebendige Vergangenheit - Carlo Tagliabue" testify to the endearing quality and historical importance of his artistry long after his final curtain call.
