Conductor Peter Herman Adler, with whom Lanza previously had worked both in concert and on the soundtrack of The Great Caruso, visited the tenor in Rome during the summer of and later recalled that "[Lanza] was working two hours a day with an operatic coach, and intended to go back to opera, his only true love.

This was subsequently confirmed by Riccardo Vitale, artistic director of the Rome Opera. Mayer, who promptly signed Lanza to a seven-year film contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

The contract required him to commit to the studio for six months, and at first Lanza believed he would be able to combine his film career with his operatic and concert one.

The Toast of New Orleans Lanza's first two starring films, That Midnight Kiss and The Toast of New Orleans, both opposite top-billed Kathryn Grayson, were commercial successes, and in his recording of "Be My Love" from the latter became the first of three million-selling singles for the young singer, earning him enormous fame in the process.

In a interview with Lanza biographer Armando Cesari, Green recalled that the tenor was insecure about the manner in which he had become successful, and was keenly aware of the fact that he had become a Hollywood star before first having established himself on the operatic stage.

Had [Lanza] been already a leading tenor, if not the leading tenor at the Met[ropolitan Opera House], and come to Hollywood in between seasons to make a picture, he would have had [the security of having] the Met as his home," Green remarked.

According to Green, Lanza possessed "the voice of the next Caruso. A great musicality. I found it fascinating, musically, to work with [him].

At the same time, Lanza's increasing popularity exposed him to intense criticism by some music critics, including those who had praised his work years earlier.

Shortly before his own death in , Enrico Jr. I can think of no other tenor, before or since Mario Lanza, who could have risen with comparable success to the challenge of playing Caruso in a screen biography Lanza was born with one of the dozen or so great tenor voices of the century, with a natural voice placement, an unmistakable and very pleasing timbre, and a nearly infallible musical instinct.

The reason most frequently cited in the tabloid press at the time was that his recurring weight problem had made it impossible for him to fit into the costumes of the Prince.

MGM refused to replace Bernhardt, and the film was subsequently made with English actor Edmund Purdom, who was dubbed to Lanza's recorded singing voice.

Depressed by his dismissal, and with his self-confidence severely undermined, Lanza became a virtual recluse for more than a year, frequently seeking refuge in alcoholic binges.

Serenade Lanza returned to an active film career in in Serenade, released by Warner Bros. However the film was not as successful as his previous films, despite its strong musical content, including arias from Der Rosenkavalier, Fedora, L'arlesiana, and Otello, as well as the Act I duet from Otello with soprano Licia Albanese.

Albanese said of Lanza in I had heard all sorts of stories about Mario [Lanza]. That his voice was too small for the stage, that he couldn't learn a score, that he couldn't sustain a full opera; in fact, that he couldn't even sing a full aria, that his recordings were made by splicing together various portions of an aria.

None of it is true! He had the most beautiful lirico spinto voice. It was a gorgeous, beautiful, powerful voice.

I should know because I sang with so many tenors. He had everything that one needs. The voice, the temperament, perfect diction. Vocally he was vsingiLecure.

All he needed was coaching. Everything was so easy for him. He was fantastic! In September , he made a number of operatic recordings at the Rome Opera House for the soundtrack of what would turn out to be his final film, For the First Time.

It was then that he came to the attention of that opera house's artistic director, Riccardo Vitale, who promptly offered the tenor carte blanche in his choice of operatic roles.

Lanza also received offers to sing in any opera of his choosing from the San Carlo in Naples. His old habits of overeating and crash dieting, coupled with binge drinking, compounded his problems.

Mario Lanza's life, sadly, has all the markings of an epic Shakespearean tragedy. The story is truly incredible: a wild, incendiary Philadelphia kid who can sing better than Enrico Caruso sets out to become the greatest dramatic opera singer who ever lived, is detoured by MGM honcho Louis B.

Mayer and vixen Hollywood, is remade into a fiercely handsome box-office champ with a inch chest, his own national radio show, TIME Magazine cover idol, and king of the pop record world.

He was besieged on cross-country concert tours and appearances years before Elvis Presley and The Beatles, was a true "superstar" before the word was invented and the first singer to ever earn gold records, with million sellers in both classical and popular categories.

The Lanza voice was so incredible, so powerful, so golden, so dazzling that an awestruck Arturo Toscanini called it, simply and correctly, the "voice of the century".

Lanza's voice has been called the "Northern Lights in a Throat' and passed through a heart of peerless sensitivity and passion.

Fired by MGM during production of The Student Prince in after director Curtis Bernhardt assailed him over the "excess" passion of one song in his stunning recording of the soundtrack, his career began a downturn that would never be reversed.

Lanza never fully recovered from the emotional catastrophe of "The Student Prince" fiasco and losing his MGM contract, and declined slowly in a pattern of near-alcoholism, food-binging, huge weight gains and losses and professional tempestuousness.

Fed up with not being able to get film roles--other than Serenade for Warners in and a savage press, Lanza quit Hollywood and moved his family to his ancestral Italy to rebuild his life and career.

He made two mediocre European-produced films, enjoyed generally successful concert performances and died, apparently of a heart attack, on October 7, , only seven years after "The Student Prince" nightmare at the terribly young age of 38, leaving behind four children and his shattered wife, who died five months later of a drug overdose after returning to Hollywood.

Lanza's seven films and scores of astonishing recordings continue to stun and inspire singers and the public 40 years after his death. He is celebrated and honored with film festivals, a steady flow of new CDs, and constant worldwide musical tributes--most notably by Domingo-Carreras-Pavarotti and a multitude of lesser vocal lights.

People Magazine, in , summed up the Lanza voice as "magnificent". Simply put, there will never be another Mario Lanza.

His wife, Betty, was the sister of Lanza's army buddy. He was interested in her picture, and the buddy introduced them.

Lanza had four children with his wife Betty: Colleen - a screenwriter, died of a road accident in ; Elisa - a housewife with two sons, Damon - had dabbled in restaurant and motorcycle business; Marc - died of a heart attack in at age He began filming The Student Prince playing Prince Karl, but his weight problems and fiery temperament got him fired.

Edmund Purdom starred in the role, lip-synching to Lanza. A minor uproar once resulted when Lanza went on an early s television show and lip-synched to one of his hit songs rather than singing live This was not done in the early days of television.

A rarity in that he was a best-selling classical artist, Lanza's many recordings on RCA Victor Red Seal--most notably "Be My Love", The Great Caruso soundtrack album and "Christmas Hymns and Carols"--were top-sellers at the time and have continued to enjoy consistent sales, more than four decades after his premature death.

As Enrico Caruso was a major influence on Lanza, Lanza has been a major influence on the generation of tenors who came after him.

Took as his professional name a variation on his mother's name. He substituted the masculine Mario for the feminine Maria and used her maiden name of Lanza as his surname.

The famous Italian tenor Enrico Caruso died in Lanza was born in Superstition prompts fans to believe that the newborn Mario inherited the voice of the expired Enrico.

To support this myth, most critics during Lanza's life espoused the belief that Lanza's vocal range and quality were on a par with no other singer but Caruso.

As one of the first students at Tanglewood in the early s, he was certainly in distinguished company. He received rave reviews for both efforts, with Noel Straus of the New York Times hailing him as having "few equals among tenors of the day in terms of quality, warmth and power".

He sang over concerts in his brief career, and at the time of his death had agreed to appear in the Rome Opera season as Canio in "Pagliacci".

Soprano Maria Callas who was not known for her praise of contemporary singers is on record as calling Lanza "Caruso's successor", and in a interview said of him: "My biggest regret is not to have had the opportunity of singing with the greatest tenor voice I've ever heard.

According to Hedda Hopper's Hollywood radio show broadcast February 11, , he was playing semi-pro football in Scranton, Pennsylvania in the s. Scranton named February 15, Mario Lanza Day.

I sing from the heart I sing the words of a song and really feel them, from the top of my head to the tip of my toes I sing as though my life depends on it, and if I ever stop doing that then I'll stop living All my life I liked fun.

I'm young and alive. I like people with heart. Even today when people get gloomy around me, I swear in high C and say, 'Let's get going The son of Italian immigrants, he began studying to be a professional singer at the age of Orchestral conductor Arturo Toscanini would allegedly later call him "the greatest voice of the twentieth century.

Mayer, who saw his performance and was impressed by his singing. Prior to this, Lanza had made only two appearances on an operatic stage, when in he sang the role of Pinkerton in Puccini's Madama Butterfly in New Orleans.

His movie debut was in That Midnight Kiss, which produced an unlikely hit song in the form of Giuseppe Verdi's operatic aria "Celeste Aida. In , he starred in the role of his tenor idol, Enrico Caruso — , in the biopic, The Great Caruso, which produced another million-seller with "The Loveliest Night of the Year.

The title song of his next film, Because You're Mine, featured his final million-selling hit song. After recording the soundtrack for his next film, The Student Prince he walked out on the project after an argument with producer Dore Schary over his behavior on the set.

Lanza was known to be "rebellious, tough, and ambitious", and during most of his film career, he suffered from addictions to overeating and alcohol which had a serious effect on his health and his relationships with directors, producers and sometimes other cast members.

Hollywood columnist Hedda Hopper writes that "his smile, which was as big as his voice, was matched with the habits of a tiger cub, impossible to housebreak.

He made three more films before dying of a heart attack at the age of At the time of his death in he was still "the most famous tenor in the world".

Author Eleonora Kimmel concludes that Lanza "blazed like a meteor whose light lasts a brief moment in time. The Lanza "myth" was created by familiar Hollywood marketing formulae, which took his social class and Italian-American identity and combined them with his good looks and exceptional talent as a singer to create the "poor boy makes good", who is "transformed into a star".

He genuinely appealed to audiences worldwide, however, owing to his ability to cater to a wide variety of musical tastes. He could sing operatic arias, popular songs, Neapolitan favorites, operetta tunes, sacred melodies and Great American Songbook standards, making him what some call the "crossover artist supreme".

Today, the "magnitude of his contribution to popular music is still hotly debated", and because he appeared on the opera stage only twice, many critics feel that he needed to have had more "operatic quality time" in major theatres before he could be considered a star of that art form.

According to opera historian Clyde McCants, "Of all the Hollywood singers who performed operatic music. In April , Lanza reportedly fell ill, mainly with heart problems as well as pneumonia.

On September 25, , he entered Rome's Valle Giulia clinic for the purpose of losing weight for an upcoming film.

While in the clinic, he underwent a controversial weight loss program colloquially known as "the twilight sleep treatment", which required its patients to be kept immobile and sedated for prolonged periods.

On October 7, Lanza died of an apparent pulmonary embolism at the age of No autopsy was performed. He was survived by his wife and four children.
