Carlo Broccardi (1886–1953[1]) was an Italian operatic tenor who had an active international career during the first third of the 20th century.
He notably sang for the first complete recordings of Giuseppe Verdi's Rigoletto (1915, the Duke of Mantua) and Giacomo Puccini's Tosca (1919, Cavaradossi); both for His Master's Voice.
He made his professional opera debut in 1911 at the Teatro Corso in Bologna as the title hero in Richard Wagner's Lohengrin.
In 1919, he made his debut at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome as the Duke of Mantua in Giuseppe Verdi's Rigoletto.
[2] In 1922 Broccardi performed several parts opposite Toti dal Monte at the Teatro Massimo in Palermo; including the Duke of Mantua, Giuseppe Hagenbacha in Alfredo Catalani's La Wally, and Pinkerton in Puccini's Madama Butterfly.
