Velluti, Giovanni Battista

    0.21 sec.

Velluti, Giovanni Battista (1780–1861)

Italian soprano castrato (one of the last). He made his first stage appearance at Forlì in 1800, and then appeared in Naples, Milan, and Venice in operas by Guglielmi, Cimarosa, and Mayr. In 1812 he visited Vienna. He created Arsace in Rossini's Aureliano in Palmira (Milan, 1813) and Armando in Meyerbeer's Il crociato in Egitto (Venice, 1824), and sang the latter role on his first visit to London in 1825.
