    Identify the character

    With just one picture, we should be able to identify the character (the singer will be a bonus, but it's not necessary).

    This one is easy, to start with:



    Which is this character?

    Yes, it was the great Tito Schipa.

    Put one of yours, Aramis, if you want, or I proceed with a second one.

    Those Albanians Ferrando and Guglielmo?

    No, they are not Albanians.

    Rather, they were first supposed to be Mexicans, but then it was decided to make them Asians...

    How about Nadir and Zurga, then, in the Pearl Fishers?

    (I still think they look more like Albanians, even though they aren't. )
