DArcangelo 2011 Ildebrando DArcangelo talks to the LA Times about hunkdom, acting, comedy and future roles is in the City of Angels appear­ing in “Così fan Tutte” at the . The bass-baritone “pro­jects a swag­ger­ing con­fid­ence and dan­ger­ous sex appeal” says the Los Angeles Times, acquir­ing “fans around the world as much for his voice as for his model looks”. He appears tall on stage because of his pro­por­tions, but face-to-face while he’s not petite, he’s not a hunk either; the bari-hunk label is one he, unsur­pris­ingly, doesn’t much like:

To be hon­est, I’m uncom­fort­able. I appre­ci­ate it if people say some­thing about look­ing good. In opera, if you see a beau­ti­ful per­son, it helps. But for me, hon­estly, I never thought about it,”

Moz­art is my god. He is the com­poser who inspired in me the pas­sion for music and my career.”

Right from the bass-baritone’s 1994 break­through per­form­ance in Parma as Leporello under Gardiner, which estab­lished the young singer as a velvet-voiced charmer with a bril­liant line in stage com­edy, to the recent tri­umphant addi­tion of Don Gio­vanni to his rep­er­toire, Moz­art has been cent­ral to the singer’s work.

I feel that he is my ‘house com­poser’, and I think – I hope – my voice is ready to do him justice.”

singers Time for a serious musical quiz

What do these three musi­cians (apart from being musi­cians) have in common?

They’re all men? — well of course, but it’s not that easy.

They’re all sing­ers? — nope, Miloš on the left is a gui­tar player.

They’ve all got dark hair? — well yes, but be more serious.

They all pluck their eye­brows? — maybe, but what would I know about that! Think…

Sorry, I give up. — Ok I’ll tell you then, they’re all signed up by the Deutsche Gram­mo­phon and Decca Music Group.

Someone’s got good taste. — Yes, that’s what I thought!
