Talk:Rodolfo Celletti

Some annotations
Dear Voceditenore, I have read with pleasure your new article about Rodolfo Celletti and I will be pleased to translate it for the Italian Wikipedia. I should have some annotations to expose, but I should prefer it was you that decide whether and how to edit them.

1. I do not think Celletti can be correctly called 'a regular contributor to la Repubblica': as a most regular reader of the same paper from its beginning, I can witness myself that his contributions were absolutely desultory and substantially limited to the yearly presentation dossiers of major theatres’ seasons (mainly La Scala's).

2. I think it would instead be worth citing his direction of singers’ section of Enciclopedia dello spettacolo, starting from its fourth volume (source: Salvatore Caruselli (ed), Grande Enciclopedia della Musica Lirica, Longanesi, Rome, vol I, p 257, article: Celletti, Rodolfo).

3. As for Celletti’s rather unsuccessful activity as a singing teacher, while not concealing my great marvelling at hearing of his co-operation with a counter-tenor (so deep-rooted was his aversion to this kind of false voice that he considered to be completely foreign to Italian opera’s tradition), I think it would be opportune to cite among his former pupils Giuseppe Morino, too, and also Martine Dupuy and Lella Cuberli, as the most successful ones (if only you or some other Wikipedia user can verify the latters actually were pupils of his: it seems to me extremely likely, but was not able to find myself any explicit source).
