Great Singers
With Peggy Reynolds. Enrico Caruso was the most famous singer of his day, and his name is synonymous with seductive singing nearly 80 years after his death. Son of a poor, hard-drinking father, he first made money and broke hearts serenading wealthy customers in the cafes of his native
Naples. But he went on to become one of the greatest stars of Italian opera and a legend in his own time. Music featuring Caruso includes: Mascagni 0 Lola (Cavalleria Rusticana)
Ponchielli Cielo e Mar! (La Gioconda) Donizetti Una Furtiva Lagrima (L'Elisir d'Amore)
Leoncavallo Vesti la Giubba (I Pagliacci)
