Accademia di canto Arturo Melocchi | Giovanni Ribichesu. Baku 2024 - studio di “Celeste Aida”

Giovanni Ribichesu, during a lesson with the talented tenor of the Baku Opera House, Adil Akhundov, studied "Celeste Aida" as Arturo Melocchi or Marcello del Monaco would have done. First, the foundations of the voice and throat had to be laid, stretching it, vocalising with good support, sinking the larynx on the five vowels, keeping the palate high and the larynx completely low. The study of the air always consisted of sinking the larynx, to maintain practice and always maintain a low position. After this, the lesson concluded with a series of deep vocalizations on the vowel "U", until the voice was no longer there. After a few days, it would be triple the volume, high and rich in harmonics, without any effort, but always keeping the larynx low.
