About this person
Filippo Andrea Francesco Coletti was an Italian baritone associated with Giuseppe Verdi. Coletti created two Verdi roles: Gusmano in Alzira and Francesco in I masnadieri. Verdi revised the role of Germont in La traviata for Coletti, whose interpretation re-defined the role as it is known today. Coletti was, with Antonio Tamburini (1800-1876) and Giorgio Ronconi (1810-1890), one of the three leading baritones of 19th century Italy, an early model of a 'Verdi baritone'.
