Tamburini, Antonio

Tamburini, Antonio

▪ Italian singer
born March 28, 1800, Faenza, Papal States [Italy]
died Nov. 8, 1876, Nice, Fr.

      Italian operatic baritone, particularly noted for his starring roles in the works of Gioacchino Rossini, Gaetano Donizetti, and Vincenzo Bellini.

      As a youth he studied the horn with his bandmaster father and voice with Aldobrando Rossi and Bonifazio Asioli, making his operatic debut in Cento at 18 years of age in Pietro Generali's La contessa di colle erbose. He sang in Piacenza, Naples, Livorno, and Turin before appearing at La Scala, Milan, in 1822 in Rossini's Matilde di Shabran, Saverio Mercadante's Adele e Emerico, and the first performance of Donizetti's Chiara e Serafin.

      From 1832 to 1843 Tamburini sang in Paris with Giulia Grisi, tenors Giovanni-Battista Rubini and Giovanni Mario, and baritone Luigi Lablache, the quartet (in which Mario eventually replaced Rubini) which premiered Donizetti's Don Pasquale and Marino Faliero. Tamburini appeared also in London in alternate years. He returned to Italy for a brief time, but in 1844 he moved to St. Petersburg, Russia, where he stayed until he retired a decade later. He was known for his musicianship and versatility. During a performance in Palermo he is supposed to have taken the costume and role of a young soprano too frightened to sing.
