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.

It can be very difficult. I was away for 6 weeks last year singing Rake's Progress on the other side of Europe (including over my wedding anniversary - boy, was I popular!) and I am away for at least two thirds of teh next two months. Not easy. And for a lot of my colleagues too. Making it work is very hard - and I wish you the best of luck with it. I tend to end up buggering it up either accidentally or I choose the wrong priority. More fool me.
