It led to the baritone being viewed as a separate voice category from the bass. Traditionally, basses in operas had been cast as authority figures such as a king or high priest; but with the advent of the more fluid baritone voice, the roles allotted by composers to lower male voices expanded in the direction of trusted companions or even romantic leads—normally the province of tenors.

Figaro in <i>Il barbiere</i> is often called the first true baritone role. However, Donizetti and Verdi in their vocal writing went on to emphasize the top fifth of the baritone voice, rather than its lower notes—thus generating a more brilliant sound. Further pathways opened up when the musically complex and physically demanding operas of <a href="/wiki/Richard_Wagner" title="Richard Wagner">Richard Wagner</a> began to enter the mainstream repertory of the world's opera houses during the second half of the 19th century. </p><p>The major international baritone of the first half of the 19th century was the Italian <a href="/wiki/Antonio_Tamburini" title="Antonio Tamburini">Antonio Tamburini</a> (1800–1876). He was a famous Don Giovanni in Mozart's eponymous opera as well as being a Bellini and Donizetti specialist. Commentators praised his voice for its beauty, flexibility and smooth tonal emission, which are the hallmarks of a bel canto singer. Tamburini's range, however, was probably closer to that of a bass-baritone than to that of a modern "Verdi baritone". His French equivalent was Henri-Bernard Dabadie, who was a mainstay of the <a href="/wiki/Paris_Opera" title="Paris Opera">Paris Opera</a> between 1819 and 1836 and the creator of several major Rossinian baritone roles, including <a href="/wiki/William_Tell_(opera)" title="William Tell (opera)">Guillaume Tell</a>.

The Quaker baritone <a href="/wiki/David_Bispham" title="David Bispham">David Bispham</a>, who sang in London and New York between 1891 and 1903, was the leading American male singer of this generation. He also recorded for the gramophone. </p><p>The oldest-born star baritone known for sure to have made solo gramophone discs was the Englishman Sir <a href="/wiki/Charles_Santley" title="Charles Santley">Charles Santley</a> (1834–1922). Santley made his operatic debut in Italy in 1858 and became one of Covent Garden's leading singers. He was still giving critically acclaimed concerts in London in the 1890s. The composer of <i><a href="/wiki/Faust_(opera)" title="Faust (opera)">Faust</a></i>, <a href="/wiki/Charles_Gounod" title="Charles Gounod">Charles Gounod</a>, wrote Valentine's aria "Even bravest heart" for him at his request for the London production in 1864 so that the leading baritone would have an aria.

Ruffo was the most commanding Italian baritone of his era or, arguably, any other era. He was at his prime from the early 1900s to the early 1920s and enjoyed success in Italy, England and America (in Chicago and later at the Met). </p><p>The chief verismo composers were <a href="/wiki/Giacomo_Puccini" title="Giacomo Puccini">Giacomo Puccini</a>, Ruggero Leoncavallo, <a href="/wiki/Pietro_Mascagni" title="Pietro Mascagni">Pietro Mascagni</a>, <a href="/wiki/Alberto_Franchetti" title="Alberto Franchetti">Alberto Franchetti</a>, <a href="/wiki/Umberto_Giordano" title="Umberto Giordano">Umberto Giordano</a> and <a href="/wiki/Francesco_Cilea" title="Francesco Cilea">Francesco Cilea</a>. Verdi's works continued to remain popular, however, with audiences in Italy, the Spanish-speaking countries, the United States and the United Kingdom, and in Germany, where there was a major Verdi revival in Berlin between the wars. </p><p>Outside the field of Italian opera, an important addition to the Austro-German repertory occurred in 1905. This was the premiere of <a href="/wiki/Richard_Strauss" title="Richard Strauss">Richard Strauss</a>'s <i><a href="/wiki/Salome_(opera)" title="Salome (opera)">Salome</a></i>, with the pivotal part of John the Baptist assigned to a baritone. (The enormous-voiced Dutch baritone <a href="/wiki/Anton_van_Rooy" title="Anton van Rooy">Anton van Rooy</a>, a Wagner specialist, sang John when the opera reached the Met in 1907).

This was the case with Germany's <a href="/wiki/Hans_Hotter" title="Hans Hotter">Hans Hotter</a>. Hotter made his debut in 1929. As a young singer he appeared in Verdi and created the Commandant in Richard Strauss's <i><a href="/wiki/Friedenstag" title="Friedenstag">Friedenstag</a> </i>and Olivier in <i><a href="/wiki/Capriccio_(opera)" title="Capriccio (opera)">Capriccio</a></i>. By the 1950s, however, he was being hailed as the top Wagnerian bass-baritone in the world. His Wotan was especially praised by critics for its musicianship. Other major Wagnerian baritones have included Hotter's predecessors <a href="/wiki/Leopold_Demuth" title="Leopold Demuth">Leopold Demuth</a>, Anton van Rooy, <a href="/wiki/Hermann_Weil" title="Hermann Weil">Hermann Weil</a>, <a href="/wiki/Clarence_Whitehill" title="Clarence Whitehill">Clarence Whitehill</a>, <a href="/wiki/Friedrich_Schorr" title="Friedrich Schorr">Friedrich Schorr</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rudolf_Bockelmann" title="Rudolf Bockelmann">Rudolf Bockelmann</a> and <a href="/wiki/Hans-Hermann_Nissen" title="Hans-Hermann Nissen">Hans-Hermann Nissen</a>.

Its common range is from the G half an octave below low C to the G above middle C (G<sub>2</sub> to G<sub>4</sub>). The dramatic baritone category corresponds roughly to the Heldenbariton in the German <i>Fach</i> system except that some Verdi baritone roles are not included. The primo passaggio and secondo passaggio of both the Verdi and dramatic baritone are at B<span class="music-symbol" style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode;"><span class="music-flat">♭</span></span> and E<span class="music-symbol" style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode;"><span class="music-flat">♭</span></span> respectively, hence the differentiation is based more heavily on timbre and tessitura. Accordingly, roles that fall into this category tend to have a slightly lower tessitura than typical Verdi baritone roles, only rising above an F at the moments of greatest intensity. Many of the <a href="/wiki/Giacomo_Puccini" title="Giacomo Puccini">Puccini</a> roles fall into this category. However, it is important to note that, for all intents and purposes, a Verdi Baritone is simply a Dramatic Baritone with greater ease in the upper tessitura (Verdi Baritone roles center approximately a minor third higher). Because the Verdi Baritone is sometimes seen as a subset of the Dramatic Baritone, some singers perform roles from both sets of repertoire. Similarly, the lower tessitura of these roles allows them frequently to be sung by bass-baritones. </p><p>Dramatic baritone roles in opera: </p> <ul><li>Jack Rance, <i><a href="/wiki/La_fanciulla_del_West" title="La fanciulla del West">La fanciulla del West</a></i> (Puccini)</li> <li>Scarpia, <i><a href="/wiki/Tosca" title="Tosca">Tosca</a></i> (Puccini)</li> <li>Iago, <i><a href="/wiki/Otello" title="Otello">Otello</a> </i>(Verdi)</li> <li>Escamillo, <i><a href="/wiki/Carmen" title="Carmen">Carmen</a></i> (Bizet)</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Baryton-noble"><i>Baryton-noble</i></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Baritone&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Baryton-noble"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <i>baryton-noble</i> baritone is French for "noble baritone" and describes a part that requires a noble bearing, smooth vocalisation and forceful declamation, all in perfect balance.
