At Santa Cecilia Music Academy, Gigli studied with the baritone Antonio Cotogni (1831-1918), who was to become Gigli's great mentor even though Gigli now went to study with Enrico Rosati who polished the young tenor's technique. Rosati eventually became Gigli's permanent coach. Gigli's sweet, steady stream of tone, his impeccable breath control and the spontaneity of his approach immediately brought him to the attention of other, more important Italian theatres - and to that of the famous conductor Tullio Serafin In 1933 he gave the first of a long series of recitals at the Albert Hall in London that continued, with a break during the war, for the next 22 years. His outgoing personality allied to his natural talent ensured his success as an entertainer far beyond the world of opera. In 1935 critic Neville Cardus waxed lyrical about how the little Italian had awakened or reawakened in his audience a love of music through a love of song and how his concerts became like parties with the audience shouting for specific encores.
