 He was a native of Bari, and later moved to Naples, where he died.
 Among his compositions are numerous concert fantasies and arrangements of themes from a number of Giuseppe Verdi's operas, including "Simon Boccanegra", "Don Carlos", and "La traviata".
Simon Boccanegra (] ) is an opera with a prologue and three acts by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian libretto by Francesco Maria Piave, based on the play "Simón Bocanegra" (1843) by Antonio García Gutiérrez, whose play "El trovador" had been the basis for Verdi's 1853 opera, "Il trovatore".

Karl Gustaf "Ingvar" Wixell, (May 7, 1931October 8, 2011) was a Swedish baritone who had an active international career in operas and concerts from 1955 to 2003.
 He mostly sang roles from the Italian repertory, and, according to "The New York Times", "was best known for his steady-toned, riveting portrayals of the major baritone roles of Giuseppe Verdi — among them Rigoletto, Simon Boccanegra, Amonasro in "Aida", and Germont in "La traviata"".
Tenore di grazia , also called leggero tenor ("graceful" and "light" tenor, respectively), is a lightweight, flexible tenor voice type.
 The tenor roles written in the early 19th-century Italian operas are invariably leggero tenor roles, especially those by Rossini such as Lindoro in "L'italiana in Algeri", Don Ramiro in "La Cenerentola", and Almaviva in "Il barbiere di Siviglia"; and those by Bellini such as Gualtiero in "Il pirata", Elvino in "La sonnambula" and Arturo in "I puritani".
 Many Donizetti roles, such as Nemorino in "L'elisir d'amore" and Ernesto in "Don Pasquale", Tonio in "La fille du régiment", are also "tenore di grazia" roles.
 One of the most famous leggero tenors of that period was Giovanni Battista Rubini, for whom Bellini wrote nearly all his operas.

 In the early 2010s, he transitioned from the tenor repertory into almost exclusively baritone parts, most notably Simon Boccanegra.
 He has performed 147 different roles.
