Aria Data Base for Don Basilio
Act One, Scene 2: La Calunnia E Un Venticello
Aria Data Base for Dr. Bartolo
Act One, Scene 2: A Un Dottor Della Mia Sorte
Act One, Scene 2: Questa Bestia Di Soldato
1950-An unscheduled bit of business in the Barber of Seville occurred when Baccaloni, the Bartolo, sat down hard enough on a chair during the shaving scene to cave it in. This was a different kind of bend from the cute phrase-curling, which Baccaloni employed through the years for comic effect.
1968 - Rossi-Lemeni’s Basilio was grand in the Chaliapin tradition: he strutted, careened, and mopped himself after his aria, not with one, but two large pocket handkerchiefs.

Bruno de Simone

Philip Ens
2006 - Phillip Ens as Basilio, sang well, but with an ever-present Germanic tinge./ Review
2006 - The Don Basilio of Bruno di Simone was sung and acted in authentic commedia style. His masterfully shaped recitatives revealed the multifaceted colorations and innuendos available in Rossini interpretation. However, Maestro Barbacini’s runaway tempo in the virtuoso patter section of Basilio’s aria turned Rossini’s playful tongue twister from buoyant merriment to arduous task./ Review
