Mario Lanza Sunday Night at The London Palladium (HQ)

[@christineneville8435]

2023 and he has definitely been given a gift from God. Still the best opera singer the world has ever known.

[@LauraSmart-i6i]

I'm actually singing along to this! I was raised with his music, as well as lots of other types.

[@bsrlpar]

THE GREATEST SINGER IN MY LIFETIME. HE SANG WITH PASSION AND GAVE EVERY SONG EVERYTHING HE HAD. I AM 84 AND STILL LISTEN TO HIM EVERY NIGHT. . HE WAS THE BEST AND A BEAUTIFUL LOOKING MAN.

@lindahobster7480 ABSOLUTELY agree about the eyes. I am nearly 86 now and still listen to him all the time as well as watching his movies.

For me: Lanza, Björling and Pavarotti.

[@carrieolson6871]

What a beautiful tenor voice, Mario Lanza is a true legend.

[@voltape]

I'm 85 (todays Jun 14, 2020) and when Mario Lanza became famous back in 1951 all opera purists criticized him - he was the worst of the worst - but people loved him - Many famous tenors today were inspired to sing by the great Lanza . Now the world over acclaims him - Purists couldn't forgive him having been a Hollywood star - but he revived opera in the world Greetings from Lima, Peru

Opera never died in Europe. It continued there almost until the end of WWII and was quickly restored at the end of that conflict. I knew men (now dead) who attended the opera in Germany and Italy not long after the end of the war.

[@lesleywilbourne7823]

You can’t say purists couldn’t forgive him! Just about every classical operatic tenor that came after him looked to him as their inspiration...Pavarotti for example!

[@valentinobergamofilho6443]

The best singer of all time. Pavarotti, Carreras and Plácido mirrored him. They had him as an idol. When I was a child in the 1950s, my parents took me to watch his films here in Brazil.

MARIO BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES. LOVED HIM SINCE I WAS A CHILD AND I GREW UP VERY CLOSE TO HIS STREET IN SOUTH PHILLY. NO VOICE WILL COME CLOSE TO HIS EVER AGAIN. GOD BLESS ALL LANZA FANS.

Mario has been my favorite since the summer of 1954 when I first heard him. There has never been a greater tenor, since this day.

[@patriciadavis2506]

Try listening to Jonathan Antoine, he does the same thing & only in his20's, Amen!

[@dr.warfe-operationtabanghe6901]

Thanks Vince for retrieving this beautiful concert of Mario Lanza. That was a gift from God ! I was then a young boy that Mario Lanza was my Idol. Most of our singers were inspired by him. A certain Vic Saring known as Mario Lanza in our place. He became champion in our Singing contest. Almost exactly the same quality of voice and style. Mario Lanza is the inspiration in the 50's.

Mario Lanza when he sings a song makes me feel every emotion he feels singing it, be it sad , happy etc every emotion I feel with him, that is what a truly great singer should make his listeners of his music feel, you cry when he cries, your happy when he's happy, your sad when he's sad, that is what a truly great singer should make all people feel, the emotions of every word of the song he is singing. I'll always love him & his glorious voice, hopefully one day there will be born another great singer with Mario's magnificent voice, one can only hope & pray that it will come true.

[@stephenalderson6279]

Art is so subjective! And in no others area than the projection of the human voice. Was Picasso greater than vangoth? Was lanza greater than Caruso? Its all a matter of opinion. I love all the great tenors of the last century each voice being unique in its various qualities. ( i dont think any of the present crop could hold a candle to any of them with the exception of the remarkable Jonas Kaufmann) enjoy the nuances the differences in the tenor voice, it would be wonderful if everyone could be a Caruso or a Pavarotti, but may soon become a little monotonous.

His voice was so powerful he could sing without a mic with a full orchestra. Note how low his mic is here. My Dad was a great singer and always said Mario was the goat.

[@DanWass632014]

Hello to ALL. It is a personal loss to me, having been born in 1951, that I wouldn't discover the great Lanza until many years later. I just started to sing myself in my mid-40s. When I was introduced to well-known Opera singers, Mario certainly stood out to me. He easily became my favorite, because of all the reasons others here have already mentioned. When I attempted singing many types of songs, I remember trying "Be My Love," which of course was my attempt to be just like Mario! He brought a Romantic flair to this, and every song he ever sang. Such a tragedy in his personal life to live until 38 only. In that short time, we can see he created longlasting fans worldwide. He will always be remembered by me, as the most powerful, personable and talented Singer in our modern times. Thank God for Mario Lanza.
