Giovanni Sbriglia

Giovanni Sbriglia

Giovanni Sbriglia (June 23, 1832-February 20, 1916), was an Italian tenor and teacher of singing.

A native of Naples, Sbriglia attended the city's conservatory before making his debut, at 21, at the Teatro San Carlo. He then appeared throughout Italy before being engaged by Max Maretzek for New York City's Academy of Music. He appeared in Havana, Mexico, and the United States until 1875, when he settled in Paris to teach. He turned Jean de Reszke into a tenor instead of a baritone, and also worked with his sister Josephine and brother Édouard. Among his other famous pupils were Lillian Nordica, Pol Plançon, and Sybil Sanderson. Sbriglia was made a member of the Royal Academy in Florence in 1890; he was also a member of the French Academy. He died in Paris.
