Giuseppe Borgatti was an italian Dramatic Tenor, he created the main role in "Andrea Chenier" and later was really famous for his Richard Wagner roles. He was at La Scala from 1896 to 1914, when sadly eyesight problems caused by glaucoma, put an early end to his stage career. He was also reputed to have train Heddle Nash the English Lyric Tenor. From "Othello" lets hear him sing "Niun Mi Tema" .
You can certainly hear the beauty of his voice shining through, it must have been a very far reaching and powerful voice in the auditorium. What a shame his stage career was cut short by visual problems.
