Giuseppe Tomaselli

Giuseppe Tomaselli (29 January 1758 – 20 March 1836) was an Italian actor and operatic singer (tenor).

Born in Rovereto, as a member of the prominent Tomaselli family, Giuseppe received a musical education in Milan with a focus on singing.

In October 1781, he joined the court chapel of Hieronymus of Colloredo, Prince-Bishop of Salzburg.

[citation needed] Between 1796 and 1798, together with Lorenz Hübner, he directed the Salzburger Landestheater.

When it was dissolved in February 1806, Tomaselli went to Vienna to the court of Austrian Emperor Francis I.
