Nicola Ghiuselev had the rich, full timbre and seemingly effortless low notes that characterize the classic Slavic bass voice. It also had a strong enough top that he could perform bass-baritone roles such as the four villains in <a href="spotify:artist:4OihBPCQzR4GfbzqOY69Xm">Offenbach</a>'s The Tales of Hoffmann, and even <a href="spotify:artist:4NJhFmfw43RLBLjQvxDuRS">Mozart</a>'s Don Giovanni. He first studied both painting and music at the State Conservatory in Sofia, but after deciding he had better career prospects as a singer, he concentrated on that. He made his opera debut at the Bulgarian National Opera in 1960 as Timur in <a href="spotify:artist:0OzxPXyowUEQ532c9AmHUR">Puccini</a>'s Turandot, and soon rose to starring roles with that company. In 1965, he made his Metropolitan Opera debut as Ramfis in <a href="spotify:artist:1JOQXgYdQV2yfrhewqx96o">Verdi</a>'s Aida during a company tour, followed two years later by his Covent Garden debut as Pagano in <a href="spotify:artist:1JOQXgYdQV2yfrhewqx96o">Verdi</a>'s I Lombardi.
