Marcello Giordani Marcello Giordani (birth name Marcello Guagliardo; born 25 January 1963) is an Italian operatic tenor who has sung leading roles in opera houses throughout Europe and the United States. He has had a distinguished association with the New York Metropolitan Opera, where he has sung in over 200 performances since his debut there in 1993.

Dmitri Usatov Dimitri Andreevich Usatov (February 22, 1847 - August 23, 1913) was a Russian tenor and vocal teacher. Born a serf to Dmitri Nikolayevich Sheremetev, he studied music with Camille Everardi at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory and sang at the Bolshoy Theatre from 1880 to 1889. There he sang the role of Lensky in "Eugene Onegin" in 1881 and the role of Andrei in "Mazeppa" in 1884. He later taught singing in Tbilisi, where his most famous pupil was Feodor Chaliapin, whom he not only trained, but fed, clothed and supported.
