Antonio Maria Giuliani

Antonio Maria Giuliani (1739-1831) was based throughout at Modena, where he served the cathedral choir for over half a century as singer and then as director. He had previously served the Duke, in his chapel as first soprano and in his orchestra as harpsichord player, while also taking occasional opera engagements at Venice and elsewhere: on the opera market he was a minor but no doubt reliable artists, who sang as primo uomo in small towns and secondo uomo in bigger ones.
