He is so funny! What a humble performer he is.
-
That is the very reason I have such a passion unfalgging for Verdi! Mio padre and I are as close as grapes on a vine!

Certainly. In many of his operas, the relationship between the father and his daughter plays an important, if not the most important, role. Let's not forget about Simon Boccanegra! BUT, there are no great *tenor* arias in Boccanegra, are there? ;-)
-
Verdi was a baritone? I remember reading his Bio and learned Verdi had two small kids, aboy and girl. Tragically, they died at such a young age. Is that what inspired him to write operas like "Rigoletto", "Luisa Miller" and "Aida"?

Tell me all!!

Sure. Just compare La donna e mobile and Cortigiani! I suspect that the composers gave some fun arias to the tenor to please the people, and some serious and deep arias and character development to the baritone. Verdi himself was a baritone!
-
Oi, you know very little for a fan ;-) He has two children (boy twins) with his first wife, and a boy and a girl with his second wife. There are many more shocking news coming to my blog :-)

Long live baritones!!! I find baritones are much more deeper in their characters than their tenor counterparts!
This may seem annoying, me commenting on this vid so much, but I wonder if he was athelectically active, for his body is ruggedly and chisledly fit and muscular . I read an article that in his youth he was in street gang fights and broke his nose twice!

In the future days, I'll post his bio focused on his private life (or the little we know about it) to my blog. As for the nose, he said in an interview it was broken several times, last time in a pub brawl in Venice in 1991 or so. Nowadays he runs and swims.
