Death of an Italian tenor, 69
mainThe Corsican tenor Tiberre Raffalli, a hit in esoteric opera in Paris, has died of unknown case.
He made his name in Reynaldo Hahn’s Merchant of Venice and wnet on to record Offenbach with John Eliot Gardiner. He was well liked in the Glyndebourne touring company.
He was French, born in Bastia, Corsica, teacher at the Marseille conservatory!
corsica is in FRANCE !!!!
….Brexit!! :-))(
I don’t think they consider themselves french either.
I sang in some operetta with Tibere Raffalli at the beginning of the 1990s. He was a charming person and singer. Sad news.
