Wuppertaler Bühnen - L’elisir d’amore - DULCAMARE
Once more not only vocally convincing Sebastian Campione ....
Whether Sangmin Jeon’s “Una furtiva lagrima” or Ralitsa Ralinova and Sebastian Campione’s “Io son ricco et tu sei bella”: it wouldn’t be fair to highlight any individual performance, as each and every singer was absolutely excellent to the delight of the audience.

Opernhaus Wuppertal - Luisa Miller - WALTER
The duke Walter is a grumpy, ill-bred authority figure; Sebastian Campione plays the role appropriately despicable.

From the Wuppertal ensemble Sebastian Campione as the demonic duke Walter, Rodolfo’s father, is particularly impressing.

In Sebastian Campione the Wuppertal ensemble has found a singer with a flexible, clear bass voice, who gives the character of the Duke of Walter darkness and wickedness.

This also applies to Sebastian Campione. He doesn't have a black bass voice , but an extraordinary musicality and vocal imagination, turning Conte di Walter into a central character, whenever he appears.
