Luigi Alessandrini

A bass, whose career ran from Parma in 1839 to La Fenice in Venice in 1871, most of it in Milan. There he sang in more than thirty premieres, from Fontana's I baccanti in 1847 to Marchetti's Ruy Blas in 1869, and took the secondary bass parts of the Verdi and Meyerbeer repertory, among them Pirro in I Lombardi, Monterone in Rigoletto, Grenvil in La traviata and Thoré in Les Huguenots. He created the mayor in the revised La forza del destino at La Scala in 1869. He also sang at Corfu and Constantinople.
