 Tamburini's range, however, was probably closer to that of a bass-baritone than to that of a modern "Verdi baritone".His French equivalent was Henri-Bernard Dabadie, who was a mainstay of the Paris Opera between 1819 and 1836 and the creator of several major Rossinian baritone roles, including Guillaume Tell.Dabadie sang in Italy, too, where he originated the role of Belcore in "L'elisir d'amore" in 1832.
