Antonio Giuglini
Il tenore Giuglini al Teatro Italiano di Parigi
Let us come to the hero of the evening, Giuglini. On this occasion, the souvenirs of Mario and Tamberlick came up; here Mario was more
dramatic, there Tamberlick gave his famous do; this one sang from the chest, this one sang from the throat. Finally Giuglini received an
immense success. He is a stylish singer; he phrases with exquisite taste, he exaggerates nothing; and in the dramatic moments, he knows
how to bring the public to frenzy. After his first act aria off stage, the audience had judged him. From that time on, Giuglini had
conquered all sympathies. After the andante of the third act, he received a tremendous ovation. He had to repeat the aria. He was no
less remarkable in the cabaletta that he sang with great fervor and warmth. The audience was waiting for the Miserere. Here again the
audience marveled. He was barely finished singing that shouts of bis started. The second time, he was no less marvelous; nobody sings
with more tenderness and suavity. At the end, he was called by name and he reappeared with his partners. Paris has confirmed the
reputation of the celebrated tenor. Giuglini must be proud of the results as the public of the Italien is difficult and does not give
their favor easily. Il trovatore was given five times; each time it was a triumph for the new tenor. Next I puritani, a work that is said
to be one of the favorite roles of Giuglini. We do not think that he will sing more works as he was engaged for only twelve evenings.
