Opera for Everyone with Erika Reitshamer: A Tribute to Mario Lanza <https://lincolnpl.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/opera-for-everyone-with-erika-reitshamer-a-tribute-to-mario-lanza/> *Saturday, January 8, 2:00pm- 3:00pm* *Zoom* The name Mario Lanza did not belong in the hallowed halls of great opera singers. He owed his popularity to second-rate Hollywood movies and sang classical arias and pop songs to the masses who adored him, but also inspired the biggest names in opera to become opera singers with the film THE GREAT CARUSO. This lecture examines the extraordinary rise and fall – and post-humous rehabilitation– of the most controversial tenors of the 20th century. It is time to reassess him at the centennial of his birth! Our opera lecturer, Erika Reitshamer, returns to Lincoln Library. She continues to enlighten, inspire and entertain Lifetime Learners, while passing along her vast knowledge of opera and opera lore to Boston’s educational institutions.
