Giuseppe Ciccimarra

Giuseppe Ciccimarra

Giuseppe Ciccimarra (May 22, 1790, Altamura - December 5, 1836, Venice) was an Italian tenor, closely associated with Rossini roles.

Career

Ciccimarra was considered one of the best comprimario tenors of his time.

For Rossini, he created, at the Teatro San Carlo in Naples, several roles including: Iago in "Otello", Goffredo in "Armida", Aronne in "Mosè in Egitto", Ernesto in "Ricciardo e Zoraide", Pilade in "Ermione", Condulmiero in "Maometto secondo".

He retired from the stage in 1826, and taught voice and piano in Vienna. Among his pupils was Josef Aloys Tichatschek, creator of Wagner's "Rienzi" and "Tannhäuser". [See German Wikipedia article on Tichatschek.]
