Franco Corelli (1921-2003), by virtue of his thrilling tenor voice and handsome stage presence, was one of the most popular opera singers on the international scene in the third quarter of the twentieth century, facing only a handful of serious rivals. At the height of his career, Corelli displayed a melodious legato, a big and noble sonority, and a remarkable ability to project a vivid personality into the interpretation of his best roles. He was heard in the great opera houses around the world, partnered with the greatest sopranos of the day including Callas, Tebaldi, Nilsson, and Sutherland. Corelli is considered by many to have been the last of the great Italian "heroic tenors."
