Mario Lanza: Singing to the Gods
In paperback for the first time, this author's bestselling biography of "Mario Lanza" now contains a fabulous new collection of forty rare photographs drawn from the private collections of Lanza's closest friend Terry Robinson, and the tenor's niece, the former actress Dolores Hart. Mario Lanza was blessed with one of the great tenor voices of all time, a consummate artist whose repertoire recognized no musical boundaries. Groomed at the outset for a career on the opera stage, Lanza instead got sidetracked into Hollywood, where his powerful singing and larger-than-life personality made him an overnight sensation. His films, most notably "The Great Caruso" and "Serenade", brought the world of...

Mario Lanza
Maria Callas called him the greatest tenor who ever lived. Vocally and technically, Mario Lanza was a genius. Like Callas, Lanza's was a phenomenal talent complimented by a more than monstrous ego. Suffering from what would today be diagnosed as bi-polar disorder, he lived virtually his whole life with his finger firmly pressed on the self-destruct button. Too undisciplined to remain in opera, Lanza found himself sucked into the Hollywood whirlpool, engulfed by the opulent lifestyle this offered: easy money, good living, and limitless food, sex and drugs, to which he became increasingly addicted. Lanza took his frustration out of others, frequently launching an uncontrollable temper on those...
The One Tenor: a Salute to Mario Lanza
Updated in May, 2016 and available in hard copy for the first time, The One Tenor is a labor of love for life-long Mario Lanza devotee, New Zealand radio and television broadcaster Lindsay Perigo. It's the bringing together of his best Lanza-related essays, critiques and interviews over the years, with significant new material exclusive to this book, including Perigo's take on the theory that Mario Lanza suffered from Bipolar Disorder. This theory was first touted in the biography of Lanza by Roland Bessette, with little explication. In The One Tenor Perigo interviews Bessette, who elaborates on his theory for the first time. Perigo responds with a theory of his own in his stellar chapter, "...
A Kid from Philadelphia, Mario Lanza
Mario Lanza was one of the greatest talents of the twentieth century. He proved to be an extraordinary tenor and one of the most beloved singers of all time. He influenced scores of artists including Luciano Pavarotti and Placido Domingo. This book is an introduction to Lanza. It includes numerous photos and images from his amazing years on the world's stage. It is a series of "affectionate" essays that portray his qualities and lead us to want to hear his magnificent voice and see him on the silver screen. It is prepared as a dual language publication in English and Italian by an author who has spent decades studying "grand voices" and continues to compare them to this "kid from Philadelphia." Readers will find the heart and soul of Mario Lanza in these articles and will know him as a person, a star and a performer beyond all comparison.
