The Great Caruso (1951) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #TheGreatCaruso

Bravo, Enrico! Bravo, Mario! Renowned tenor Mario Lanza portrays his longtime singing idol Enrico Caruso in the crowd-pleasing musical that was 1951’s #4 box-office hit. Suggested by Dorothy Caruso’s biography of her husband, The Great Caruso rings out with aural pleasures (27 musical selections) and shines with the grandeur of a life lovingly refracted through the Hollywood biopic lens. The music (by Puccini, Donizetti, Verdi and more) emphasizes works most closely associated with Caruso. The story, spanning Caruso’s Naples boyhood to worldwide acclaim and tragedy-stricken final performance, touches on the down-to-earth character traits that spread the singer’s fame beyond the black-tie society of Metropolitan Opera connoisseurs. Nominated for three 1951 Academy Awards®, the movie won for Best Sound Recording.

Special Features: Documentary "Mario Lanza: Singing to the Gods"; Theatrical Trailer (HD),

Directed By Richard Thorpe
Starring Mario Lanza, Ann Blyth, Dorothy Kirsten

Lanza had charisma like no one else. Real star quality.

[equine]

Mario was one of the greatest. His voice held so much passion.

[valeriomessersi]

Nel Grande Caruso la più bella voce di Mario Lanza

[lucgitarist]

that man blows me away every time I hear his was the best tenor voice ever

[marvm]

I remember being in elementary school in late 1980's day-dreaming about singing like him at the school talent show in 4th grade. lol. we did mc hammer instead but it was my secret cuz no one else really understood classical music in my hometown in the Bay Area, CA. My dad was a singer at the SF Opera before i was born. Today is my dad's 19th anniversary since he passed away. I like to listen to Mario Lanza because i hear my dad when he sings. Pavarotti too. Tenors are my favorite. I love you Papa.

October 7, 1959 - 2024, the 65th anniversary of his death. I thank him for having brought me close to the opera.
May he rest in peace.

the way Lanza can sing such a fast tempo aria like this and still turn on a dime like a Italian sports car when it comes to constantly shifting articulations and emotional nuances within a phrase is nothing short of miraculous

[jonathancruz]

Singing is from the heart and art to make masterpiece

[metamindsync]

Finally, teaching the kids where passion comes from!! The only voice with no labored breathing in 100 years!!! Mario was the best. Hands down. Yet, why now the sudden interest back to real talent?

1:55 La Danza by Gioachino Rossini (1835)

|: Già la luna è in mezzo al mare,
mamma mia, si salterà!
L’ora è bella per danzare,
chi è in amor non mancherà. :|
Già la luna è in mezzo al mare,
mamma mia, si salterà!

Presto in danza a tondo, a tondo,
donne mie venite qua,
un garzon bello e giocondo
a ciascuna toccherà,
finchè in ciel brilla una stella
e la luna splenderà.
Il più bel con la più bella
tutta notte danzerà.

Mamma mia, mamma mia,
già la luna è in mezzo al mare,
mamma mia, mamma mia,
mamma mia, si salterà.
|: Frinche, frinche, frinche,
frinche, frinche, frinche,
mamma mia, si salterà. :|

La la ra la ra
la ra la la ra la
(repeated twice)
la la ra la ra
la la la la ra la!

|: Salta, salta, gira, gira,
ogni coppia a cerchio va,
già s’avanza, si ritira
e all’assalto tornerà. :|
Già s’avanza, si ritira
e all’assalto tornerà!

Serra, serra, colla bionda,
colla bruna và quà e là
colla rossa và a seconda,
colla smorta fermo sta.
Viva il ballo a tondo a tondo,
sono un Re, sono un Pascià,
è il più bel piacer del mondo
la più cara voluttà.

Mamma mia, mamma mia,
già la luna è in mezzo al mare,
mamma mia, mamma mia,
mamma mia, si salterà.
|: Frinche, frinche, frinche,
frinche, frinche, frinche,
mamma mia, si salterà. :|

La la ra la ra
la ra la la ra la
(repeated twice)
la la ra la ra
la la la la ra la!
