Today is the 7th October, that is already 64 years have passed since his death (7.10.1959) at the age of 38. I am thankful to him for having brought me to the opera world. He may rest in eternal peace. Thank you for your beautiful video.

There could be thousands of documentaries about Mario Lanza but, in fact, there could still never be enough produced.

I am a retired professional orchestral Tuba player(, and have played with many fantastic singers) but Lanza was one of my childhood musical heroes/inspiration. We had his albums in the house, and when one of his movies came on TV my mother and I would always watch. His voice helped shape my concept of sound. Thank you, Maestro 👍

As a operatic tenor myself, Hollywood career or not; Mario Lanza is in the top 10 tenors of all time. If you don't think this, we can't even begin a conversation!
-
He had by far one of the most powerful voices ever.
-
I love hearing Mario Lanza's voice evolve into a great amazing sound. Never tiring hearing such a voice. Made every song so believable.
-
MARIO WAS THE GREATS TENOR.
-
He inspired me to love opera - I discovered him at 15, saved up, and bought one of his albums in 1958/59. Still think he was the best of the tenors in my lifetime. It's sad how we lost him.
-
What a man!!! He had more to offer than being on stage. The world needed to see him on the SCREEN.
-
Envy is one of the 7 deadly sins for a reason. Opera was jealous of his success and so they had to tear him down. He is still my favorite tenor for a reason. Pure beauty and passion in every song.

I was inspired to learn more about him after seeing his mural in Philly. His voice is rich!❤ I’m glad more people are learning about Mario Lanza.
