Event Details

Mario Lanza

THE GREAT CARUSO

(1951)

    

 Nearly 40 years after its release, Caruso's son, Enrico Jr. reminisced that, "Vocally and musically The Great Caruso has helped many young people discover opera and even become singers themselves." 

 

The film has also been cited by tenors Plácido Domingo and José Carreras as having been an inspiration for them when they were growing up. 

 

The Great Caruso is truly a magnificent movie. Mario Lanza performs the role flawlessly, and his singing is in top form. He is depicted as a thoughtful person who goes out of his way to be kind and helpful to others. Like giving jobs to friends who had fallen on hard times.

 

Ann Blyth is beautiful as the love interest. All the operatic production numbers are first-rate. It's easy to see why Mario Lanza was such a huge star!
