The Great American Tenor
April 21, 23, 24, & 25, 2010
Peter Nero and the Philly Pops honors Philadelphia’s
favorite son–the late, great tenor Mario Lanza. A
truly incredible story of a wild, fiery Philadelphia kid who
could sing better than Caruso, sets out to become the greatest
dramatic opera singer who ever lived, is detoured by Louis
B. Mayer and vixen Hollywood, is remade into a fiercely handsome
box office champ with his own national radio show, wins the
1951 TIME magazine cover idol, and becomes king of
the pop record world. No one since has compared to his epic
talent and it’s
unlikely anyone else ever will. This program, featuring incredible
tenors singing Lanza’s hits, is not to be missed!
"The greatest voice of the 20th century"
-Arturo Toscanini
