Luigi Antinori

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Luigi Antinori (c. 1697 – after 1726) was an Italian operatic tenor.

Antinori was born at Bologna about 1697. He was one of the best tenor singers of the beginning of the 18th century, with a voice of pure and penetrating quality, and having acquired an excellent method of using it.

He came to London in 1725 and sang in 'Elisa,' an anonymous opera, and in 'Elpidia,' by Leonardo Vinci and others, a pasticcio given by George Frideric Handel, in which Antinori took the place of Borosini, who sang in it at first. In the season of 1726 he appeared in Handel's Scipione and Alessandro. After that season his name does not appear again.
