Francesco Tamagno (28 December 1850 – 31 August 1905) was an operatic tenor from
Italy who sang with enormous success throughout Europe and America.[1] On 5 February
1887, he sang Otello in the first performance of Giuseppe Verdi's opera.[2] He is
also the earliest Italian tenor to have left a sizeable body of recordings of his
voice.
