If you click on the bit with his name where it says he is the President, you will get a wonderful picture of him and a lot of information. I think he would make a wonderful Scarpia - he MUST have played that part - in Tosca, which is my favourite opera of all time. My favourite Scarpia up to now is John Shirley Quirke, and I have a video of this, with Placido Domingo as Mario (but he doesn't get a look in with Scarpia). And the Rumanian Soprano is the best I've ever heard singing "Visi D'arte" - can't spell her name. Eat your heart out Maria Callas! Sorry about the Italian - not very good at it.
