The bass Julij Betetto is considered one of the most important Slovenian and Yugoslav musical performers of the twentieth century, also leaving a deep impression on the history of European operatic singing. In an artistic career spanning over half a century he appeared in more than three thousand operatic performances, interpreting 175 roles in 140 different operas. The article looks at Betetto’s artistic career and expands previous knowledge about his thirty-six-year-long collaboration with the Ljubljana Opera, emphasizing his pedagogical influence and importance for that institution.Downloads
