MARIO LANZA was a student of ENRICO ROSATI to whom he was ever grateful even though he never completed his studies to become an opera singer. Rosati taught the great BENIAMINO GIGLI as well as James Melton.

I visited the Lanza museum institute while I was in the US 2011 and it was the thrill of my life's dream to feel close to the man I admired since I was 8 years old. It is a shame that not too many people visit the place these days. People, don't let it die..I believe it is getting to be a smaller exhibit every year. I listen to Lanza all the time and friends think me narrow, that I cannot accept a lot of would be tenors, today..Lanza forever..

@dlagrua: hmmm. Every biography that I've read (and I own most of them) reports that Lanza turned down a Met offer before he became a "movie star" because he recognized that he needed more seasoning and wanted to work his way up in regional houses (e.g. New Orleans). Then, after he became a "movie star," the Met publicly turned Lanza down before he had even considering or asked about returning.

Lanza certainly had his issues and wasn't perfect but no worse than a lot of other Met tenors.

@catlec39 The voice of reason, at last! I am amongst those people who adore Mario Lanza's singing, and I do not have a bad ear - nor do all the other thousands of his fans. I do love the FACT that Mario inspired and thrilled more people than any singer since the beginning of technology, as far as I am concerned. Thank you for posting.

@FinnJohnn The WORLD of people who adore Mario Lanza's singing do not have a "bad ear." Bur remember, our perceptions cloud all of our "beliefs." The facts are different. The FACT was the among the rare voices classified as "tenor" Mario Lanza inspired and thrilled more people than perhaps any singer since the days od Caruso.

So, how will I know beforehand that somebody is going to trash him? I must read it first! Go figure...

[FinnJohnn]

@RossouwCora It still remains your choice to read only comments, which praise him.

[RossouwCora]

@FinnJohnn You trash Lanza, but in the next sentence you call him an "artist". If you do not like him, why do you listen to him at all? It still remains your choice to listen to him or to switch him off.
