Jose Simerilla Romero, Alejandra Sandoval, Il Corsaro, Act 3 Duet, "Eccomi prigionero...Ei dorme?"

Verdi’s bombastic 1848 opera plunges us into the dashing world of seafaring pirates. While its popularity was overshadowed by his next operas: Rigoletto, Il Travatore, and La Traviata, this thrilling work is filled with Verdi’s characteristic melodies, rhythms, virtuosic vocal lines, choruses, and large orchestral score.

Bravo!👏👏👏👏👏 A very enjoyable watch!!! What incredible singing and acting

[@pugh.joseph]

The timbre of your voice in this recording is not unlike Franco Corelli or at times dare I say Mario del Monaco (not in terms of volume), is that what you were going for?

I was going for singing it as best as I can with my voice. 🤷‍♂️ Staying true to the score and intentions written.
