Nicola Martinucci

Nicola Martinucci (born 28 March 1941) in Taranto, Italy, is an Italian tenor. He has sung under the baton of some of the greatest conductors, including Claudio Abbado, Riccardo Chailly, Myung-Whun Chung, Sir Colin Davis, Lorin Maazel, Riccardo Muti, Nello Santi and Giuseppe Sinopoli. Martinucci has sung most of the standard Italian... repertoire roles, especially Verdi (Radames in Aida), Puccini (Calaf in Turandot, Luigi in Il Tabarro), and verismo (Canio in Pagliacci). His lyrico-dramatic Italianate sound, coupled with his similar repertory, dark Mediterranean looks, and bearded appearance, have led many into seeing him as a possible successor to the late Luciano Pavarotti. In addition to the roles mentioned above, his repertoire also includes the roles of Cavaradossi, Pinkerton, Marat in Mascagni's Il piccolo Marat, and Salvatore Giuliano in Lorenzo Ferrero's Salvatore Giuliano.
