CRITIC REVIEW:
“Franco Bonisolli had the most thrilling tenor voice in the theatre despite his often over singing in IL TROVATORE. I heard him as Manrico twice in Salzburg, under Karajan, and what a ‘Di quella pira’! His L'AFRICAINE at Covent Garden showed a more subtle side to his singing. How sad that he had the misfortune to die on the same day as Corelli.”
