Giuseppe Ambrogetti

Giuseppe Ambrogetti (1780[1] – after 1838) was an Italian opera singer of the type basso buffo.

His first performance was in 1807; his debut in Paris was in 1815 in Don Giovanni.

He debuted at the opera in London in 1817, where he was very successful.

His voice was a bass of no great power, but he was an excellent actor, with a natural vein of humour, though often put into characters unsuited to him as a singer.

Yet he acted extremely well, and in a manner too horribly true to nature, the part of the mad father in Ferdinando Paer's opera Agnese (opera), while the part of the daughter was sung by Violante Camporesi.
