**Renato Zanelli** (1 April 1892 – 25 March 1935) was an Italian-Chilean operatic baritone and later tenor, celebrated for his powerful voice and his association with heroic Italian and German roles, particularly in Verdi’s *Otello*. Born in Valparaíso, Chile, to an Italian father and a Chilean mother, Zanelli’s rich cultural heritage significantly influenced his artistic journey.

As a **Manifesting Generator** in Human Design, Zanelli embodied a unique blend of energy and creativity that allowed him to thrive in both baritone and tenor roles. His **Sacral Inner Authority** guided him to respond to opportunities, leading to a dynamic and versatile stage presence that captivated audiences. This ability to engage with his environment and the people around him was further enhanced by his **4/6 Profile**, which reflects a natural talent for building connections and sharing wisdom—qualities that undoubtedly contributed to his success and the admiration he garnered throughout his career.

Zanelli’s education in Switzerland and Italy laid a strong foundation for his musical talent. Upon returning to Chile in 1911, he initially worked in his father’s salpeter factory office in Valparaíso. However, his passion for music prevailed, and he studied under Angelo Querze in Santiago. He made his operatic debut as a baritone in 1916 as Valentin, quickly showcasing his versatility with significant roles such as Tonio, de Luna, and Renato.

His debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 1919 as Amonasro marked a pivotal milestone in his career. He remained with the Met until 1923, performing many major Italian baritone parts and solidifying his status as a prominent figure in the operatic world. Zanelli’s talent took him to prestigious venues in Milan, Turin, and Rome, where he continued to impress audiences and critics alike.

In addition to his own achievements, Zanelli’s musical legacy continued through his brother, Carlos Zanelli-Morales, who also found success as a baritone under the stage name Carlo Morelli, performing at the Met from 1935 to 1940. Tragically, Renato Zanelli’s life was cut short by cancer at the age of 42, on 25 March 1935, in Santiago, Chile.

Zanelli’s contributions to opera and his remarkable journey as a **Manifesting Generator** in the world of music continue to resonate, inspiring future generations of artists. His **Incarnation Cross**, the Right Angle Cross of Tension (21/48 | 38/39), further emphasizes his role as a catalyst for transformation and creativity, reflecting the tension and resolution inherent in his life’s work. His channels, including **16-48**, **1-8**, **2-14**, and **28-38**, highlight his ability to connect deeply with his craft and the audience, reinforcing his legacy as a true operatic icon.
