Goodbye Enzo. I have worked 2 times with him and he was a fantastic musician but also a very good stage director. We have recorded also the Ape Musicale by Da Ponte. He was humble, kind, friendly. It is a very very sad new.
Very sad news! He was able to steal the scene as an excellent Don Magnifico in Rossini’s Cenerentola. This is a role I always associate with him.
One of the greatest (end funniest) bassi buffi, grazie mille Enzo!
