I didn't realize Ann Blythe and Mario Lanza did more than one film together. I love Kismet and their number Stranger in Paradise. This is also very nice.
When i was ten years old I saw this movie and the song stuck in my head after one hearing for the rest of my life and I grew up to be an opera singer and a lover of all music.
as one who was a kid and listened to his voice, I never had the education to know what was being said, or maybe some of the stories of the music, but I do know music of the soul, and it's with that, we connected, tha man had a gift from the Heavens, and when it was time it was taken with him back to the heavens...what a blessing to have the clips, I thoroughly appreciate it, a special thanks to Tenor65, for the treat.
The music is "The Last Rose of Summer" It was used by Flotow in the finale from Martha, but was not composed by him. The Last Rose of Summer is a poem by Irish poet Thomas Moore. Moore wrote it in 1805 while at Jenkinstown Park in County Kilkenny, Ireland. Sir John Stevenson set the poem to its widely-known melody, and this was published in a collection of Moore's work called Irish Melodies (1807-34).
Friedrich von Flotow uses the song in his opera "Martha," premiered in 1847 in Vienna.
What happened to the "Toast of New Orleans" I haven't found anything on here about that movie. Please explain where I can find the music to that movie, it would help.
Can anyone tell me what the name of the duet/chorus beginning at 5:54 is? It's so beautiful... I guess it's from Flotow's Martha but what's the name of it?
I first heard Mario Lanza as a young girl. I learned to love his singing in seeing "The Great Caruso". What a tragic way to go. I believe some day we will have another great tenor. :)
On the day that the inimitable Luciano Pavarotti died it was an unexpected joy to find these clips of the great Mario Lanza who was such an inspiration to Pavarotti as a young man. Thanks to tenor 65 for reminding us all what a truly wonderful voice he had. With the passing of Pavarotti we have now lost the two most significant operatic tenors of modern times - we shall not see their like again in this lifetime.
I just found these clips. My parents would play Lanza's songs on the machine on Sunday evenings. I feel young again. This is the voice I measure all others against.
I've thought about that, and I can't think of anyone.... the current tenors just aren't near good enough.. unless they just lipsynced to Lanza himself :P
Dear Tenor65,you have a good taste in the selection of musical parts from "The Great Caruso" and " Because You're Mine ".
I have both DVD but to watch and to listen all the excerptions with Mario Lanza
one by one is a great pleasure.Gratitude !
My respect to you!

MARIO LANZA not only was one of the greatest tenors of all times, he was among them the best actor. He was complete. Thanks Tenor 65 for these clips.

I played this over and over again.And keep thinking, why is there no movie about Mario Lanza ?Is there any ?
They could make THE GREAT CARUSO, but why not THE GREAT LANZA ?
Maybe, because there is nobody who can be Mario Lanza ?And there will never be....
