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.

Congrats. I've debated this for a while and one of these days I'll do it. Back when I was singing actively I remember a production in which I was supposed to take a visual cue from someone else on stage. I of course forgot that I wouldn't be wearing glasses and couldn't were contacts. So we had to restage the thing.
