Vittorio Fullin (Tenor) (Pola 1895 - ?)

He studied singing under Mandolini and made his debut at Politeama of Livorno as Pollione in ‘’Norma’’. He made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera in ‘’Aida’’. It has happened in 1925. He sang the role of Radames at the Metropolitan Opera also in 1927. He retired from the stage approximately in 1940.

The new tenor, tall and thickset of build, ample of voice, and routined in action, did not altogether conceal his nervousness, which may have had something to do with traces of tightness and with his changing to a meaningless long "A" vowel, the final word on which occurs the high B Flat of this taxing air. Yet it was smooth and attractive singing and disclosed a voice of good volume and of musical quality. Later, in the Nile Scene, Mr. Fullin sang very attractive phrases and was generally quite successful with his music, despite a little of hoarseness on his top notes. There was every indication that Generalissimo Gatti-Casazza will be able to make good use of him in meeting the manifold requirements of the operatic repertoire.
