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.

Um.. :)
He is pretty well-known so using the word "discover" is sort of silly. There are 4 names that come to mind when you say "dramatic tenor". Corelli, Del Monaco, Domingo and Giacomini.
Watch him with Sherrill Milnes. You will understand the difference between a baritone and a dramatic tenor.
