Italian tenor Antonello Palombi performs around the world to tremendous acclaim. “The most pleasant surprise was the discovery of a very fine new tenor in Antonello Palombi, whose singing in rehearsals had set the rumor mills abuzz. It's all true: Here is a tenor with that exciting, emotion-stirring, head-turning Italianate sound, and he ignited the show whenever he was on-stage...here's betting he will be in considerable demand in this country,” said the Seattle Times of his American debut as Dick Johnson in La Fanciulla del West with Seattle Opera.
