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.

Mozart's Figaro is one of the greatest characters ever for a bass-baritone! Don't be shy. Jump in and enjoy the music! The last Figaro production I was involved with had a bass as the dashing young betrothed. He was great!
It's that other Rossini Figaro we basses want to avoid. Oy!
