Who is this guy? Campbell Vertesi is an operatic bass, of the very low sort. His fach is sometimes called "Basso Profundo" - that's Italian for "he sings really low." Even lower than most basses, which is a bit frightening. He specializes in bass roles like Sarastro (Die Zauberflöte), Sparafucile (Rigoletto), and Colline (La Bohème). This site chronicles Campbell's progress as he begins a career as a young opera singer.

Bring out the evil bass in you, man! I'm not really evil, I just play one on stage. Actually I'm a mild-mannered gentle singer. But, get me into a character, costume, and a situation on stage and I become someone, something else. You can disassociate yourself and become an evil killer, or a suave lover. Then, leave those characters in the wings of the stage, go home to your wife, and give her a BIIIIIIIGGGG SMOOOOCH!
