🌟🌟🌟 As a believer, I am most grateful to God for the voice and for the gift of music 🙏🙏🙏 Very special thanks to Eliomar Nascimento who is one of the best singers and voice instructors I’ve had the honor to learn from, and who has trained my voice and allowed me to try out this piece. Very special thanks also to Mary Opanasets, Martha Ebel and Patty Bossange, for their constant support in scholarships and loving care.💛💛💛

This is a very difficult piece, especially for an adult learner taking up singing in his forties... Lol
Verdi’s vocal lines are among the most challenging ones ever written. However, those lines will have all of the harmonics and colors in the voice brought out. Verdi simply knew the human singing voice and its capabilities better than any other Composer. Every classical singer should study at least one of his works.
