I grewup in South Philly where Mario did. I met his mother and father and his real name was Mario Cuccuzi. His surname meant squash and when he started singing he took his mother's maiden name, Lanza. It's a shame he died so young and what a great voice.
Mario is hands down the most passionate tenor i have ever heared. We should be glad that he recorded so many arias even though he went to hollywood instead of pursuing an opera career.
no one can move me to tears like the great Mario Lanza.....God only loaned him to us for a short time.....now he sings with the angels in heaven RIP MARIO LANZA
Yes, Franco Corelli was far better than any other tenor in my humble opinion. Now, Lanza had an amazing voice, but Mailace was correct, in that he went to Hollywood and threw it all away.
Lanza, before he got chubby was another impssibly handsome guy, like Correlli. Tho Lanza had a beautiful, natural gift and would have undoubtedly had a fine career in the opera house he squandered his God given talent on a Hollywood career.

I can't believe this. My mother's favourite opera singer is Mario Lanza, and she was born on May 18 1950!!!

he sang each aria/song with such passion without being overpowering i don'think any other tenor has that gift.

I've heard many others sing this song and Mario sung it BEST. He is, hands down, the best tenor ever!!!!
