🎼16 October 1982.
40 years ago Mario Del Monaco, one of the most representative and popular tenors of the 1950s and 1960s passed away in Venice #Mestre.
Del Monaco was born in #Florence in 1915 and spent most of his lifetime in Venice.
Like #Pavarotti had his signature "aria" in Nessun Dorma, #DelMonaco was unrivaled in E Lucevan Le Stelle👇
An anecdote few know: Donella Del Monaco, the tenor's nephew and opera singer herself, became the #vocalist and lyricist of Opus Avantra, an obscure Italian avant-garde progressive rock band of early 1970s (I post a song in the Chat Room).
