On his debut recital album of songs by Tosti, the majestic baritone voice of Franco Vassallo along with the accomplished piano playing of Giulio Zappa will take us to a magical time where poetry, beauty, and pleasure were part and parcel of the artistic experience.Baritone Franco Vassallo is a native of Milan, where at a very early age he discovered his great enthusiasm for opera and classical music. Vassallo’s singing career took off in 1994, when he won the AsLiCo international singing competition in Milan. In 1997, he won the competition to sing Ford in Verdi’s Falstaff at the Arena di Verona. These performances quickly led to outstanding success in the title role in Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia. For a number of years, Vassallo was the performer of choice in that role almost everywhere.
