(Subs by gallalala) Ildebrando D'Arcangelo: his surname means "Archangel"; he has the heavenly voice and appearance, and a hidden diabolical aura.
He is a wonderful piece of art; he is in love only with Vienna, otherwise, he is single.
He opposed Anna Netrebko, after having affairs with both heroines -- but of course, only on stage, in "Anna Bolena".
Ildebrando D'Arcangelo. Wow.
What an imposing name currently appears in the program at the Vienna State Opera.
D'Arcangelo is the Don Giovanni on stage, and in real life he sparks with fiery Italian charm.
Ulrike Tobesch caught this fire for "Wien heute"
Not only his voice but also his appearance are very appropriate for the role of Don Giovanni.
Ildebrando D'Arcangelo is a quiet man with a pleasant bass-baritone timbre, which is no surprise.
Also he displays his Italian charm in everything.
I'm single. I can do anything, come on, let's have a drink.
His name sounds as great as his voice, and suits him perfect.
My father is a musician and he tried to find for me a nice name.
He wanted me to become a pianist, and when I was born played Mendelssohn's third symphony.
So music is my destiny.
D'Arcangelo began his musical career playing piano; then he sang in the choir and just for his own pleasure.
It's not for the first time he sings Don Giovanni.
He also sang other parts of this opera, including Leporello.
Now he is over forty, and has become one of the main actors on stage in Vienna, and displayes exactly what you expect from Don Giovanni -- or very close to it.
The good looks help a lot, but we are singers in the first place.
Ildebrando D'Arcangelo performed to his best everywhere -- in La Scala, Metropolitan Opera and Covent Garden .
But he calls only Vienna his second home.
For me is Vienna the centre of music. Concerts and great artists are everywhere. I can't live without Vienna.
His life consists not only of classical music.
I love Michael Jackson.
Are you sure?
But we will most likely see him or hear his voice in the works of his favourite Mozart, than in this role. (Subs by gallalala)
