Jean Carbonell
Carbonell was a native of Aix-en-Provence, where he also died on 9 January 2016. His career was obviously limited to the larger provincial theaters; I find him in Bordeaux, Toulon, Verviers or Tours throughout the 1960s, but never at the Opéra or the Opéra-Comique, nor at La Monnaie. Roles he sang included Duca, Pinkerton, Grigorij and Cavaradossi. I want to thank Claude Ribou for the picture (Toulon). I want to thank Georges Cardol for the picture (bottom). |
