From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gilbert Duprez as Gaston in Giuseppe Verdi's Jérusalem. A French tenor, singing teacher and minor composer who famously pioneered the delivery of the operatic high C from the chest, and who created roles for such major composers as Gaetano Donizetti, Hector Berlioz, and, as seen here, Giuseppe Verdi. Jérusalem was Verdi's first French grand opera, rearranging and heavily reworking one of his previous Italian operas, I Lombardi alla prima crociata, making the opera more coherent, tighter, and through-composed.
