"Could you say that water is part of the sea? Certainly not: water IS the sea. And so one could not say that Albertazzi was part of the theatre. He WAS the theatre, in every form, in every sense and meaning. Anyone lucky enough to hear him recite realised that Dante’s most obscure verses or Shakespeare’s most veiled concepts became comprehensible without him having to explain them; it was enough for him simply to utter them. Thus he turned certain great texts, such as Calvino’s American Lessons, into true sensory experiences, where everything was satisfied: eye, ear, heart and mind. These are the legacies that great actors leave behind. Immense actors leave immense legacies, and there is no thank you sufficiently immense to say to them."
