Giovanni Battista Velluti, born in 1780, was the last heir of the great Italian castrati. His exceptional voice, both powerful and agile, and his impressive vocal mastery opened the doors to the most prestigious opera houses in Europe. His talent for highly complex vocal ornamentation had a lasting influence on the style of vocal interpretation in the 19th century.
Franco Fagioli immerses himself in Velluti’s theatricality to recreate the full extent of his genius and gives a superb performance of his most famous roles, accompanied by the Orchestre de l’Opéra Royal de Versailles.
