More on Franco Corelli
Description from Wikipedia:
Franco Corelli (8 April 1921 – 29 October 2003) was an Italian tenor active in opera from 1951 to 1976. Associated in particular with the big spinto and dramatic tenor roles of the Italian repertory, he was celebrated internationally for his handsome stage presence and thrilling upper register.
Corelli was born in Ancona, the son of a ship worker. He originally studied for a degree in marine engineering, then took lessons briefly with Rita Pavoni at the Pesaro Conservatory of Music. He had a few lessons with world renowned voice teacher Arturo Melocchi who taught a larynx lowering technique but picked it up mainly from his friend, Carlo Scaravelli. Later he sought advice from a great tenor of a previous generation, Giacomo Lauri-Volpi, who many claim led Corelli to his vocal decline.
In 1950, Corelli won the Maggio Musicale in Florence, earning a debut at Spoleto the following year, as Don José in Carmen. Also in 1951, he made his debut at the Rome Opera as Manrico in Il trovatore. During the next few years, he sang mostly in smaller opera houses throughout Italy and on Italian radio.
He reached La Scala in Milan in 1954, as Licinio in Spontini's La vestale, opposite soprano Maria Callas, whom he would later partner in Fedora, Il pirata and Poliuto. Other important debuts ensued, including his first appearances at: the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino in Florence and the Verona Arena in 1955; the Vienna State Opera, as Radames, and the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, in London, as Cavaradossi, in 1957; the Teatro Nacional de São Carlos in Lisbon, the Lyric Opera of Chicago and the San Francisco Opera in 1958; and the Berlin State Opera in 1961.
He was married to soprano Loretta Di Lelio.
