The story of a great star told, with records, by ALAN DELL ' Discovered ' by the conductor Koussevitzky. Lanza was hailed by American music critics as another Caruso-the one singer he had idolised from his childhood. But a Hollywood contract changed the course of operatic history, and Lanza's debut in New Orleans as Pinkerton in Madam Butterfly in 1948 was also in a sense a farewell, as he never again sang a complete operatic role. But to millions of cinemagoers, and to many more millions who listen to his voice on records, Lanza was the greatest singing star of modern times. He died on October 7, 1959.
