Joseph Caillot


Joseph Caillot was a French actor and singer.
He was endowed with a very wide compass which enabled him to sing as a basse taille, while also reaching the haute-contre tones. According to Rodolfo Celletti "he was a baritenor and a bass at the same time": Grétry and Monsigny used to notate his parts in the bass clef, but set them in high-baritone tessiture.
