  • Bravo Oreste!!! If he were still alive, today (26th July) would have been his 88th birthday...

    Oreste was an amazing tenor but also a great man. I wa lucky to have known him as he was a neighbour and a friend...

  • Wow! such harsh words for a fine tenor! His spoken english was too heavily accented for Hollywood. That is why his dialog was over-dubbed by another actor in the movie. The 50's were strange times for Hollywood, in its own right, and the star system ofen went awry. SO? Pavorotti's movie was a flop, but he survived. Hope there is more of Orest here.

  • @Rogere76

    Yes! He was with the Carla Rosa Opera, he was extremely good, and later went to Sadlers Wells.

    It is a shame, in my opinion, that the lure of hollywood or whatever took him away from the world of opera.

    My sister and I adored him, and went to every performance. We lived in London back then, and had an uncle who was able to get us tickets, cancellations and so on, 'on the night'. We met Oreste a couple of times.

    Then they tried to turn him into another Mario Lanza. Regretable.

  • Oreste Chircop - Kirkop was a Maltese Tenor from Malta he performed in the movie by Paramount "The Vagabond King

  • Thank you for posting Mr. peterboldizar.

    It seems to me Mr. Kirkop was not 100% ripe for showbiz, but put in his share of effort.

  • The laughing is ironic . He was the house tenor at Covent Garden in the mid fifties .

  • Thank you for posting! Can you tell if this was a TV speacial? may be the year? Thanks again.
