  • To celebrate Mario's centenary, here is a collection of recordings, movie & TV appearances & montages.
    I've a few nice editing touches in here, I hope you enjoy.
    This is not a "best of" but more of an editing free-flow, a kind of stream of consciousness.
    I also wanted to feature moments I maybe haven't focused on as much in my other videos so far.
    Viva Mario!

      Absolutely. I was only 5 when he passed away. My sister was 15. I still remember her sobbing a long time when he passed. She loved opera, esp. Mario. Since then I watched many of his movies and fell in love with his voice and acting. He was a very special singer who passed too soon. ❤️🎶❤️🎶

    As much as I love many other tenors in opera, Mario's singing always brings tears to my eyes. His singing is so deep, so sincere and open-hearted and so physically perfect that I can only imagine what more heavenly songs he would have been able to produce if he had lived a full life span. He is without compare even after all this time. Bravo, Mario!!!

    The first time I heard Mario Lanza was in the film "The Student Prince" Edmond Purden took over the role. But the voice was Mario's. I was only 18 at the time, I am now 82. There have been many great tenors down through the ages, but none can compare to the romance in the voice. I am still hooked on that wonderful romantic voice.

My mum's favourite singer. no other baritone or tenor has came any where near Mario lanza. not even Pavarotti. If any one interested Mario lanza sang live Sunday night at the London Palladium in 1957. you can find it on RUclips. you'll have to search for the best one. Good luck.

No, singers death was ever a greater loss to mankind! Compare tenors all you want, but there has never been a man who could sing both contemporary ( Be My Love, a great example ) and opera like LANZA, he was magnificent!

    Way back in !962 when I was six years old my dad`s best friend emigrated from Belfast to Australia .Just before he left he gave us his Webcor record player and his precious collection of discs. In this treasure we found Frank Sinatra, Bill Haley, Lonnie Donegan ,Perry Como, John Maccormack ,etc, and a couple of Mario Lanza`s. Being that age I loved Frank in "The French Foreign Legion" but jumping around one day I smashed many of the others .Fortunately Mario survived and "Guardian Angels" became one of my all time favourites. This began my lifetime love of great tenors ! 1921 A great vintage --- Franco Corelli , Pippo Di Stefano and Mario Lanza !!!!

    *No one could match Mario Lanza for sheer emotional power of delivery.

The man was sensitive and so emotionally driven that it became his downfall. How is it that the thing you love so much has the power to kill you ?*

    One of my closest friends of many years, comply coincidental, became sick with the same physical condition as me, several years ago. She was completely bed bound and not coping well. We were several continents apart when this happened, so I couldn’t visit her on a whim, even if we’ll planned. I’ve always been a music fan, so she’d ask me to send her music clips daily, of each decade . Mario became our shared passion. Eventually, she made the decision to end her suffering. I was asked what music she liked for the funeral. My initial internal response was to feel pure anger at those who had left her, to not know such things. But, I was thankful they asked me, they had no idea of our last few months together, sharing music weekly. So it was my little was of honoring her.
    So we played Mario Lanza Ave Maria, her absolute favorite.
    Then my dad asked why I chose that. He and my mum then explained it was my grandfather’s favorite singer. My grandfather died just before I was born. I was brought up on their 60’s rock. Love that too. And their love of jazz.
    But in my mind, not magical thinking, I deeply appreciate and love how Mario spreads across generations in my life, even if it skipped one or two in the story of in case.

    Like so many others, I have been a fan since I first heard his voice as a young girl. He has always been one of my favorites. I am almost 65 and still get goosebumps listening to him sing. He's left a legacy that will endure for future generations. Thank you for posting.

    I met Mario when I was 16, he sang at St Andrews Halls in Glasgow. 1957 The next day I got to meet him at the Central Hotel. I always remember he wore a Camel Coat and seemed much taller than I imagined. I grew up singing all the songs. Happier days.

    There is a chain. Enrico Caruso inspired Mario Lanza. Mario Lanza inspired Luciano Pavarotti. We have been privileged to hear all three even if only through recordings. A voice like theirs comes along every 50 years. We await the next. Well done Vincent...a fitting tribute.

    Bravo, a superb tribute to the world's greatest Hollywood tenor, who most certainly would have made it to the Met, if he did not pursue the Hollywood route. In a way Hollywood made him and destroyed him. In a way, his movies made him and opera accessible to the world. The Met could not do that, as evidenced by a contemporary of his, also born in 1921- Franco Corelli. Mario Lanza influenced such greats as Pavarotti and Carreras. I went to Jose Carreras Tribute to Mario Lanza at Radio City Music Hall and left with the affirmation of how the Opera World wronged Mario Lanza by failing to acknowledge his greatness. Thank you Vincent Di Placido for this wonderful tribute. My favorite part is the duet from Madame Butterfly scene from Toast of New Orleans. How magnificent Mario Lanza looked in that Navy uniform! My favorite movie was The Great Caruso which showcased Lanza's extraordinary voice. Even Enrico Caruso's son said that no one could play the part of his father except Mario Lanza. That in and of itself is the greatest tribute of all!

    The best TENOR in all generations. My mother, when I was still in my elementary school in the late 50's, used to make me join her in watching Mr. Lanza's movies. I can hear her words of praise for this MAN while we're both focused on him in the silver screen. She finds his voice incredible esp.of gospel arias and she swoons for his handsomeness. And when I grew up, I started to like his music and his incomparable unique high vocal chords!!!

    Lovely Vince. A wonderful tribute to Mario. It's hard to fathom one-hundred years. He is certainly responsible for my pursuing a career in music. When I first heard his voice ("Serenade" from the STUDENT PRINCE) at thirteen years of age, I would never have imagined that, seven years later, I would be living in New York and studying with the man who conducted that magnificent performance.

    • @shirleyrombough8173

      The small clip of Mario singing Otello. We can onlyimagine his singing the complete opera. Espexcially after Otello kills Desdemona and realizes she was innocent.

    • @shirleyrombough8173

      Would we ever have recovered from that Otello's realization? Oh, so here it is. The last scene of Otello. Just overwhelming.

    And it's also the Century of the Death of Enrico Caruso who was Born on Saturday January 25th 1873 and Died on Tuesday August 2nd 1921 and Mario Lanza Played him in the film the Great Caruso,and I've got some of Caruso's Records Reissued under licence by His Master's Voice in the 1950's in the Golden Treasurey of Immortal Performances and the Transfers are far better than the later 1970's and it was such a shame that both Artists died very young Enrico Caruso at 48 and Mario Lanza at 38 in October 1959 but atleast we have got there Gramophone Records to Preserve there Voice's for all time so that future Generations can still hear there Wonderful voices
