FRANCO POMPONI

News

“As Germont, Franco Pomponi was the real article with a warm, focused tone and a genuine feel for true Italian legato singing.  Pomponi provided the best singing of the evening, his vital, characterful voice .‘Di Provenza il mar’ was even better, Pomponi rendering the waltz-like aria with sensitivity and a golden liquid tone.”
