Description
Mario Lanza was an American tenor, actor, and Hollywood film star of the late 1940s and the 1950s who was of Italian ancestry. Lanza began studying to be a professional singer at the age of 16. 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 this book, the author interviews Bessette, who elaborates on his theory for the first time. Perigo responds with a theory of his own in his stellar chapter, "Mario's Magic Madness.
