Garibaldi's impromptu singing instantly prompted cheers, even the chief tenor Nourri of the Paris Opera House couldn't help but applaud with a smile: "Giuseppe, you sang really well, even better than that day at the inn! Maybe you should consider changing your career to be a singer instead of continuing as a sailor."
Garibaldi's face was flushed, brimming with a passionate smile: "I have indeed thought about it; if I hadn't pursued other occupations, I could have become a singer. I have a tenor voice, though not as good as yours. But if I were trained, my range would certainly become quite broad."
