I had the privilege to have him as a teacher for a short while. An absolutely lovely man with a huge voice and a love of singers and singing.

Bravo!!! Bravíssimo!!!

His diction in virtually perfect!

[Apollogranforte]

I saw him in many roles, ranging from Luigi to Rigoletto, from Scarpia to Tonio, from Carlo in Forza to Renato in Masked Ball!.

He was a very Italianate baritone with an excellent diction and very good acting abilities.

Obviusly with time a lot of that has long gone, but I could recognise his vocal tone anywhere.

Together with Don Smith and Liz Fretwell they made an incredible trio: They could fill a theatre without 2nd rate imported singers.

Thank you for the memories.

He was actually a bass baritone with a very fortunate top on his voice. The man is actually a genius and anything said to contrary is a mockery of Australia's most respect bass-baritone.

Franco Vassallo is singing Alfonso this year and he is a true Baritone. I believe this is one of those roles that can be sung by either voice part, it sits right in the middle for the most part.
