Catalogue Note
Mario del Monaco (1915-1982) was a celebrated Italian opera tenor, famed for his dramatic delivery and the strength of his voice. Mario del Monaco made his professional debut in Puccini's "Madama Butterfly" in Milan in 1941 and his career spanned three decades, his good looks and virile stage presence earning him the nickname of 'the Brass Bull of Milan'. His international tours brought him worldwide fame, particularly for his role as the lead in Verdi's Otello, which he is said to have performed 218 times.
