 During his London career, Campanini became especially well known in the roles of Manrico ("Il trovatore"), Fernando ("I puritani"), and Edgardo ("Lucia di Lammermoor").At his return for the 1874 season in London, in June he joined a Drury Lane cast in Michael Balfe's posthumous opera "Il Talismano" (Italian production) with Tietjens and Nilsson, and with the young Giovanni De Reschi in a baritone role (who later became the famous tenor Jean de Reszke).
