Italian tenor Maria Lanza was a rare presence in the world of opera -- a singer from the world of high culture who crossed over to pop culture success. The acclaimed vocalist became a popular film star in the 1940`s, starring in a number of movie musicals. His welcoming, smiling face also made Lanza a perfect fit for the (new) world of television, and this video collects many of his best appearances on the small screen. Featured are his performance in PAGLIACCI plus several other songs.
