Ferruccio Furlanetto at the Salzburg Summer festival

In 2010 Ferruccio Furlanetto participated at the Salzburg Summer Festival for the seventeenth time. His debut at the festival was in 1986 in Jean-Pierre Ponnelle production of “Le Nozze di Figaro”. He sang this part two more times, in 1991 and 1992, in Michael Hampe production. The opera that was performed by Ferruccio Furlanetto at Salzburg Summer Festival most is “Don Giovanni”: he appeared in it at the eigth festivals from 1987 to 2000 (four times - as Lepporello, and four - as Don Giovanni). From 1999 the time for “Don Carlo” came: he was king Philip II at the three festivals. All in all Ferruccio Furlanetto gave at Salzburg 99 performances.

In 2010 when the festival celebrated it’s 90th anniversary Ferruccio Furlanetto appeared as Oroveso in Norma (role debut) and sang “Songs and Dances of Death” by Mussorgsky in the orchestra version with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra under Mariss Janssons. This program was first performed in Amsterdam (25.08) with the stellar reviews and then on tour at the Salzburg festival and in these concerts Ferruccio Furlanetto performed with Mariss Jansons for the first time.

Ferruccio Furlanetto also participated in 4 Salzburg Easter Festivals.
