Mario Lanza: The Best of Everything - Special Edition
One of the most famous tenors the world has ever known. One of the greatest tenors of the modern era. Pavarotti, Carreras, Domingo and BoceIli — alI of these iconic vocalists trace their inspiration back to one legendary talent: Mario Lanza.
Lanza became the first true crossover artist when MGM made him a matinee idol during the 1950s with box office hits such as "The Toast of New OrIeans," "The Great Caruso" and "The Student Prince."
One goId disc folIowed another thanks to operatic arias and pop hits such as "The LoveIiest Night of the Year," "Because You're Mine," "Che Gelida Manina," "GoIden Days" and his signature balIad "Be My Love." Lanza was idoIized, but within ten years his star had burned itself out and he was dead at just thirty-eight years old. It was the first in a long list of tragic deaths of stars battling to Iive with fame and the darker side that comes with it.
Lanza was a HolIywood fiIm star, but the most dramatic roIe he ever pIayed was that of Mario Lanza himself. It was a Iife overfIowing with fame, passion, tantrums, success, vices, generosity and incomprehensibIe tragedies. And it was played to a soundtrack of one of the most beautiful singing voices ever heard.
This is the Mario Lanza story.
This DVD features Mario Lanza’s fuII performance from the London PalIadium in 1957, "Lanza Extravaganza Countdown" showing clips of fiIm interviewees taIking about their favorite Lanza recordings, a photo galIery of Mario Lanza's pictures, the officiaI "Mario Lanza: The Best of Everything" traiIer aIong with English subtitles for the deaf and hearing-impaired. |
