The Great Caruso

synopsis


Mario Lanza was a highly gifted singer who won enormous acclaim during a tragically short career as a film and opera star. For his role as Enrico Caruso in this musical biography, based on the life of one of the greatest tenors of all time, Lanza studied Caruso recordings for years. The result is a stunning artistic tribute to both men that includes twenty seven numbers, each sung with passion and sentiment. The story follows Caruso's career from his humble start as a young cafe singer through his 18 year marriage to Dorothy Benjamin (Ann Blyth) and his troubles with her family. Partnered with New Yrok Metropolitan Opera House stars Dorothy Kirsten and Blanche Thebom, Lanza excels in the celebrated 'Vesta La Giubbi' from 'Pagliacci'; 'La Donna e Mobile' from 'Rigolleto'; 'Che Gelida Manina' from 'La Boheme'; 'Celeste Aida' and the ballad 'Because'.
