About Mario Lanza: The Best of Everything

Mario Lanza – The Best of Everything is a new documentary about one of the most famous tenors the world has ever known – one of the greatest tenors of the modern era. Pavarotti, Carreras, Domingo and Bocelli all trace their inspiration back to Lanza, who became the first true crossover artist when MGM made him a matinee idol during the 1950s. One gold disc followed another, with operatic arias and pop hits such as “The Loveliest Night of the Year”, “Because You’re Mine”, “Che Gelida Manina”, “Golden Days” and his signature ballad “Be My Love”. Lanza was a Hollywood film star, but the most dramatic role he ever played was that of Mario Lanza himself. It was a life overflowing with fame, passion, tantrums, success, vices, generosity and incomprehensible tragedies. But it was played to a soundtrack of one of the most beautiful singing voices ever heard. While Lanza was idolized, within ten years his star had burned itself out and he was dead at just thirty eight years old. Mario Lanza – The Best of Everything is a celebration of his remarkable accomplishments.
