- To celebrate Mario's centenary, here is a collection of recordings, movie & TV appearances & montages.
I've a few nice editing touches in here, I hope you enjoy.
This is not a "best of" but more of an editing free-flow, a kind of stream of consciousness.
I also wanted to feature moments I maybe haven't focused on as much in my other videos so far.
Viva Mario!

I'm in love with a dead man. Very very fortunately for me & millions alike his voice will live on forever. Only one Mario Lanza.
You are not alone, dear Linda!!
The Serenade from the Studentprince is absolutly stunning!
haha, can you imagine I had this feeling as a teenager when I discovered him, I thought where is he? Oh, he's been dead for more than half a century ;)))
Absolutely. I was only 5 when he passed away. My sister was 15. I still remember her sobbing a long time when he passed. She loved opera, esp. Mario. Since then I watched many of his movies and fell in love with his voice and acting. He was a very special singer who passed too soon. ❤️🎶❤️🎶
I am in love with a Dead man as well. It's not Mario though....even though he is wonderful and had a great voice. Love hearing him sing.
I have been in love with actor Alan Rickman since Dec 2022. Now, it has turned to being in love with a dead man since Jan 14, 2016.
I am 86 and still in love with Mario. The best singer ever. No opera singer or any other singer has come close. He was so handsome as well. So sad he died so young.
Toscanini called Mario Lanza's "The Voice of the Century." I guess he would know.
The most handsome opera singer and with the most beautiful voice in the history of recorded music! Nobody has matched his intensity, his passion, and gorgeous voice, and I doubt anyone ever will. He has been my lifelong hero.
in my heart there is only one LANZA....THE VOICE OF THE CENTENARY,,,THE WORLD LOST A GREAT TENOR......................
Mario had the greatest gift that God can give to a man, his wonderful voice that brings joy, happiness and serenity to others.
What a brilliant tenor the best there have ever been
Nooit zal er zo een tenor meer zijn jammer genoeg ❤ joep Mayers nederland
63 years after his demise, his music and distinctive voice remain a delight to listen to.
Simply wonderful...............He still sings in heaven.
It was 1954. I was 13 years old. I first heard Mario Lanza - 'The Drinking Song" from the Student Prince - . I have been his loyal fan to this day. I'm 80 now and still love to listen to his old recordings. Mario must be singing up a storm with the Angels in heaven.
I am 81 and Mario Lanza was my Idol as a boy with a good voice and wanna be Lanza........those were the golden days of youth and innocence nothing like the world today... what a shame!!!
As much as I love many other tenors in opera, Mario's singing always brings tears to my eyes. His singing is so deep, so sincere and open-hearted and so physically perfect that I can only imagine what more heavenly songs he would have been able to produce if he had lived a full life span. He is without compare even after all this time. Bravo, Mario!!!
My friend and I have loved Mario since we were teenagers.We are in our 80's now.Such a wonderful voice.
It's thru his movies that I learned to love opera as a kid. Great memories.
The Great Caruso was the all time favorite movie ever. MARIO LANZA had such a presence on the big screen, so memorizing and that beautiful tenor voice,stunning. He will always be the best singers ever lived.
Everybody loved and still love Mario Lanza.
Respect to Mario Lanza from a heavy metal lover
Mario's voice is so addicting. You want to hear his voice over and over again. Thanks Vincent.
The most wonderful tenor voice I ever heard, he was simultaneasly very handsome beautiful man plus an exceptionel tenor. He had both superior qualities which lasted for the last 100 years and will continue to belong to him alone for the many hundred years to come. Thank you for the marvelous video.
Maravilloso tenor, tuve la fortuna de ver la película El gran cariño. Así que infinitas gracias por este video
The first time I heard Mario Lanza was in the film "The Student Prince" Edmond Purden took over the role. But the voice was Mario's. I was only 18 at the time, I am now 82. There have been many great tenors down through the ages, but none can compare to the romance in the voice. I am still hooked on that wonderful romantic voice.
Like you the Student Prince sealed me for life on Mario Lanza - have never forgot it!
😊❤

"Drink drink! Let every true lover salute his Sweetheart, so drink!" Just amazing to hear! 😮🎉
Btw I'm 66 now and will listen to him with pure joy, as longcas I may live xxx
The GREATEST tenor to ever have lived. He is the only tenor, who sang with all of his heart and soul. His melodies radiated pure joy. 🎶
I think you forget. Enrico Caruso and Benamino Gili.
IF you say this you dont know what needs to be a real opera artist ..he was never any real opera singer only a produkt of Hollywood and never was in the real work of opera
@@melvynstevenson6487 No, she didn't.
@@rogerengblom5061 His voice was better than opera.
Ето феик матрикса !!!
MARIO LANZA FOREVER!!! ETERNAL VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!
Lá dupla perfecta Mario lanza con ksthrin graison ....
Mario Lanza's voice can bring you to tears unbelievable what a God given talent that was with us not long enough
WONDERFUL RENDITION TO THE GREATEST SINGER EVER MARIO LANZA !!!!! THANKS,THANKS,THANKS..........
No one can sing like Mario Lanza! No one brings such feeling to a song! Sadely, he died too young.
Beautiful .......... 💖💖💖
😂my hero. Loved Mario Lanza since I was a teenager. I'm now 88 and am still in love ❤❤❤
BEAUTIFUL ...Tears are in my eyes. I Loved Mario since I was 10. I am 75 in May.
Me too....I will be 75 is April.....parents had all his records
It's same for me.
I first became aware of him when my parents took me to see THE GREAT CARUSO when I was 13.
I was also thirteen when I saw The Great Caruso for the first time. I fell in love with Mario Lanza and opera then. I have all his films and watch them again and again. Thank you for posting this great video.
I loved Mario. His voice was something else. I will be 83 in May and was besotted with his voice since I was 15 years old.
Me personally. I think Mario lanza Is one of the best baritone voices I've ever heard. I grew up listening to Mario lanza. My mum's favourite singer. no other baritone or tenor has came any where near Mario lanza. not even Pavarotti. If any one interested Mario lanza sang live Sunday night at the London Palladium in 1957. you can find it on TH-cam. you'll have to search for the best one. Good luck. Check it out you want be disappointed. Thank you Vincent this was fantastic.yes I did cry as always. you all b safe and take care where ever you are. peace and 🕊️ to all. from 🇬🇧👍😄 an old cockney gal
What makes a singer the greatest.Many singers have their following when alive but the crunch comes when they are gone. This where Mario comes into his own as the greatest of them all as he is still going strong after more than sixty years and from eight years old have loved him no one bar no one holds a candle to him.
He can just make me cry with his singing. Tremendous
One of my closest friends of many years, comply coincidental, became sick with the same physical condition as me, several years ago. She was completely bed bound and not coping well. We were several continents apart when this happened, so I couldn’t visit her on a whim, even if we’ll planned. I’ve always been a music fan, so she’d ask me to send her music clips daily, of each decade . Mario became our shared passion. Eventually, she made the decision to end her suffering. I was asked what music she liked for the funeral. My initial internal response was to feel pure anger at those who had left her, to not know such things. But, I was thankful they asked me, they had no idea of our last few months together, sharing music weekly. So it was my little was of honoring her.
So we played Mario Lanza Ave Maria, her absolute favorite.
Then my dad asked why I chose that. He and my mum then explained it was my grandfather’s favorite singer. My grandfather died just before I was born. I was brought up on their 60’s rock. Love that too. And their love of jazz.
But in my mind, not magical thinking, I deeply appreciate and love how Mario spreads across generations in my life, even if it skipped one or two in the story of in case.
lanza, always, for ever !!! thank you
Mario should have been the prince in a fairy tale movie.. Thanks for the beautiful music.
wow...I enjoyed tremendously, (am 83 now) saw all his movies when about 17 / 18 ...happier times.. I think that most (famous) tenors were inspired by this great tenor 🙏🙏🙏
I grew up listening to Mario!! He was by far one of the very best!!!
Mario lanza the best tenor of the world
Thank you very much for this video! My beloved mother loved Mario so much but she passed some month ago. 28th January is her birthday, this would be the perfect gift for her. I hope she and Mario met in Heaven.
Impossible acccording to Ecclesiastes 9:5. Sorry.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ The Great Mario Lanza. Proud to say, he gets a lot of playing in my house.
Wonderful! What a voice. Such passion and emotion. He’s simply the best tenor voice.
El primer cantante de opera que trabajo en cine, siendo un gran, gran éxito. Hasta la fecha. Grupo Mexicanos Unidos.
Thankyou thankyou, that was wonderful. I am 84 and tears have rolled.
The best tenor for me.
I’m 85 years old, and love his golden voice all the past years.🎶🎵❤
@@helgalevine8220 I couldn’t agree more.
Way back in !962 when I was six years old my dad`s best friend emigrated from Belfast to Australia .Just before he left he gave us his Webcor record player and his precious collection of discs. In this treasure we found Frank Sinatra, Bill Haley, Lonnie Donegan ,Perry Como, John Maccormack ,etc, and a couple of Mario Lanza`s. Being that age I loved Frank in "The French Foreign Legion" but jumping around one day I smashed many of the others .Fortunately Mario survived and "Guardian Angels" became one of my all time favourites. This began my lifetime love of great tenors ! 1921 A great vintage --- Franco Corelli , Pippo Di Stefano and Mario Lanza !!!!
Wonderful celebration of Mario and his awesome gifts.I know a lot of opera purists wish he had concentrated his career on the opera stage, but thanks to his movie career, we have these divine performances captured forever.
最高のMario Lanza
Graças a Deus ele se dedicou ao cinema, permirindo-nos vê-lo e ouví-lo, dando-nos a impressão de que ainda vive.
The greatest without a doubt, such conviction. Melts my heart. No one could hold so many notes in one breath..simply outstanding. Heaven is a lucky place ❤
Mario and singers like Caruso and Gigli are without doubt One off's and we must protect these recordings for as long as we can !.
Such a handsome man with the most beautiful voice of all times. I love Mario Lanza and could listen to him as long as I am alive. 🤗♥️
Most handsome man ever with the most beautiful voice, Mario Lanza. I love him. He will always be he greatest voice ever.
Mario I the best tenor for me!
The most beautiful song, Because your Mine. Mario was the greatest,most handsome , actor ever. Never tire of his music and movies. He has never sang any song I haven’t loved. Thanks to all who are responsible for giving us his absolutely beautiful music.
What a wonderful reminder of Mario Lanza. Such a wonderful voice and a stepping stone of so many others who followed him.
A voice like no other. My inspiration to become a tenor since my childhood in
the early 50s in Cuba. He simply moves you into extasis...🎶❤🎶
U
His voice is just so amazing and he makes it look so easy and natural. Genius!
The best TENOR in all generations. My mother, when I was still in my elementary school in the late 50's, used to make me join her in watching Mr. Lanza's movies. I can hear her words of praise for this MAN while we're both focused on him in the silver screen. She finds his voice incredible esp.of gospel arias and she swoons for his handsomeness. And when I grew up, I started to like his music and his incomparable unique high vocal chords!!!
Hi mario lanza was a great tenor what a voice he had and I loved all of his pictures he made great ones. he is one in a million. and a handsom gentleman and he done a lot of films with katherine grayson so lovely 💗💗💗💗♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Very thanks for this wonderful Celebration of the great tenor Mario Lanza. Since I am 11 years old is Mario my favorite singer. Now, I am 63 the love to him is bigger. I thank for all the wonderful moments in my life of his music.
I met Mario when I was 16, he sang at St Andrews Halls in Glasgow. 1957 The next day I got to meet him at the Central Hotel. I always remember he wore a Camel Coat and seemed much taller than I imagined. I grew up singing all the songs. Happier days.
James Kelly..👌 you lucky man. He was magnificent ❤
I love to meet Mario, you were very lucky.🍀
The "GREATEST" but also the "SWEETEST" in Italian DOLCISSIMO!!!!!!!!!
I listen to him every day
Love him so so much
He will always be alive in my heart❤
Simply Stunning, just such a memorable voice with exceptional passion! Thank you💜🙏
Lanza' s singing with every year is being percieved more and more enchanting. I bet, that if human population will survive another thousand years, voice of Mario will be the best thing which survived . If people will travel to stars, Mario' s voice will be always with them. It will represent the best of what Earth has.
When I listen to Mario Lanza, it takes me back to my early teens. I had a brother-in-law who first introduced me to Mario’s beautiful and magnificent voice. I never get tired of listening to him. I put him first in my line of music which includes, Caruso, Pavarotti, Caleja (?) and a few others. I love him and I am sure he is entertaining Jesus and all who are in heaven with him.
👏👏♥️😍😍👍👍👍
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Love and a big THANK YOU, from Malta.
I never get bored hearing the golden voice of the great Mario Lanza.
A voice that all Tenors wish they had......
Absolutely FANTASTIC. Thank you for this beautiful compilation of the greatest voice in the history of humankind. There will never be another Mario Lanza.
👍👍👍👏👏👏
@@elenamalovichko358 so thankful Stefano Murace
Thank you Unforgetable singer
O voce de aur,după mine cel mai mare tenor care a existat vreodată. Îl ador.
He was the greatest naturally talented tenor.
i heard this voice as i lay in my cot as a baby, i still love opera there nothing more beautiful on earth then opera
Thanks Vincent, Mario's natural beautiful singing voice was a masterpiece, a priceless work of art! Till this day, and far beyond unequaled! And, no art form compares to a great voice! No, singers death was ever a greater loss to mankind! Compare tenors all you want, but there has never been a man who could sing both contemporary ( Be My Love, a great example ) and opera like LANZA, he was magnificent! Like one of your viewers said, he sang with a higher consciouness then anyone else! FC
He was probably the best opera singer after Caruso. And it's been only recently that he has been appreciated.
What a great tribute, really marvelous! I am so grateful for the gift of Mario Lanza and his great voice throughout my 72 years of life. I cried during this whole video, it brought many memories and heartfelt emotions. I regard him as possessing the most beautiful voice of all.
Me too.....😮💨
There is one more, sang soo effortlessly was Luciano Pavarotti. But Mario Lanza was first, They will live hundreds of years from now through their voices.
@@unamilan2978 Frankly, I was not referring to Luciano Pavarotti.
Well done, Vincent! Mario Lanza certainly deserves a centenary celebration.
Спасибо за ваш подарок всем нам, кто любит Марио Ланца!!!
Am so happy to have this shared~~Mario Lanza.'s Centernary Celebration 1921 to 2021. Am 80 years and have been a fan ever
since I heard him sing as a young boy . Thank you once again Vincent Di Placido for your generosity of Mario Lanza's legacy.
Robert S.J. Hu March 22, 2022.
Am back again for Mario Lanza's mesmerizing songs on love and hope !!!! Again thanks so much to Vincent Di Placido !!!!
Robert Hu March 28, 2022.
Always so happy to hear this iconic singer and feel so blessed. My continued humble thanks to Mario Lanza and Vincent Di Placido.
Robert S.J. Hu May 28, 2022.
Aloha and stopped by to hear more of Mario Lanza's legendary songs on love, hope, and living !!!!!! Thanks to Mario Lanza and
Vincent Di Placido again !!!!!!!!!!!!! Love, Robert S.J. Hu July 10, 2022.
Thank you for this wonderful video of Mario Lanza.Gone but never forgotten.Happy 100 Birthday.
Thank you for these beautiful musical stories with Mario Lanza,
I became extremely enchanted with him so many years ago, I was but a child. Thank you so much for sharing.
*No one could match Mario Lanza for sheer emotional power of delivery. The man really felt deep inside every note that ever came out of him, and, perhaps, this great sensitivity and emotional range came at a price ! The man was sensitive and so emotionally driven that it became his downfall. How is it that the thing you love so much has the power to kill you ?*
Like so many others, I have been a fan since I first heard his voice as a young girl. He has always been one of my favorites. I am almost 65 and still get goosebumps listening to him sing. He's left a legacy that will endure for future generations. Thank you for posting.
There is a chain. Enrico Caruso inspired Mario Lanza. Mario Lanza inspired Luciano Pavarotti. We have been privileged to hear all three even if only through recordings. A voice like theirs comes along every 50 years. We await the next. Well done Vincent...a fitting tribute.
You mentioned greats of their time. . .listen to the young Jonathan Antoine, your heart will fly. . .
If we’re talking American tenors the line goes Mario lanza inspired frank tenaglia. Frank tenaglia inspired me.
There's Andrea Bocelli.
And don't forget Placido Domingo, who was also inspired by Mario to sing
Thank you Vincent a very befitting tribute to the greatest tenor of all time he sings with such passion and emotion his legacy will live on absolutely love Mario Lanza
Thanks for sharing that magnificent video!!! A marvellous voice he has,big and great Mario Lanza!!!🥰😍🤩
Sinds 1956 mijn favoriet en nu nog geweldige tenor.
Happy birthday
I have heard most tenors in my eighty odd years some wonderful voices , but none came anywhere near his, The Very Best, Thank You Mario, Ray Alston
A Diamond Tribute to Mario Lanza. It Sparkles & Shines !
Superb ! Multumim Vincent Placido !
Гос какой талант какой Великий талант талантище марио Ланца Великой на все времена❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Вечная память Великому тенору на все времена Великой прекрасной душе Марио Ланца❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
A wonderful tribute to a wonderful voice!!😁🎶
The greatest singing voice I have ever heard! Forever my hero in classical music! 🙏
Mario Lanza the greatest tenor voice of the 20th century, thanks for posting.
Bravo, a superb tribute to the world's greatest Hollywood tenor, who most certainly would have made it to the Met, if he did not pursue the Hollywood route. In a way Hollywood made him and destroyed him. In a way, his movies made him and opera accessible to the world. The Met could not do that, as evidenced by a contemporary of his, also born in 1921- Franco Corelli. Mario Lanza influenced such greats as Pavarotti and Carreras. I went to Jose Carreras Tribute to Mario Lanza at Radio City Music Hall and left with the affirmation of how the Opera World wronged Mario Lanza by failing to acknowledge his greatness. Thank you Vincent Di Placido for this wonderful tribute. My favorite part is the duet from Madame Butterfly scene from Toast of New Orleans. How magnificent Mario Lanza looked in that Navy uniform! My favorite movie was The Great Caruso which showcased Lanza's extraordinary voice. Even Enrico Caruso's son said that no one could play the part of his father except Mario Lanza. That in and of itself is the greatest tribute of all!
Still loved, wonderful voice ❤
UNREAL what a voice ...he melts my heart
What a wonderful tribute to the greatest tenor that ever lived. I have been watching his movies and playing his music practically non-stop. I wish he would have made more movies. What a beautiful man with a matching voice. May he Rest In Peace. Love always.
Lanza é immortale, fantastico! Bellissima composizione! Ringraziamento.
Светлая Память одному из Великих Теноров 20 века, и настоящему мужчине - Mario Lanza! Браво, браво, брависсимо!!
He loves every note he sang and it shows. He is and always will be the one of the best.
The power of Mario's voice and its consistency through all registers are simply mindboggling.
the one and only my favorite greatest tenor of all time Mario Lanza
What a tribute this is Vince, indeed stunning. Well done sir and thank you very much. His voice lives on! He touched the lives of so many then, yet, so many more today - thank you Mario. You were and remain such a Star! RIP.
Absolutely a pleasure to listen to Mario Lanza -- bringing memories of my growing up in the 1950's, and my parents in the 1940's. Thank you for sharing!!
Vincent Di Placido thank you so very much for your exquisite tribute to Mario Lanza, truly exceptional, bless you....
Mario is the world's greatest tenor and I have loved him since I was three years old, thanks to my Daddy's love for this man's beautiful voice and music....
As we remember Mario Lanza he will never die and we his adoring fans will see to that....
REST IN ETERNAL PEACE MARIO LANZA
Сколько будет существовать мир, этот великий голос будет звучать, он не забываем и бесподобен!!! ♥️
Это можно слушать вечно!❤❤❤👏👏👏Браво , Марио!!!🌺🌺🌺
Just wonderfulxxxxxxxx
El mejor tenor que haya oído. Mario fue la adoración de mi mamá y ella me heredó su gusto por Mario, me llevó a ver sus películas y las amé- Ahora tengo 81 años y siempre está conmigo.
No hay otro mejor Bochelli is closer very gifted .Tame You to heaven
Mario Lanza è stato il miglior tenore anche come bellezza
The fantastic voice of Mario Lanza!
Mario could sing opera and ballads beautifully.
Simply the best,
I love all musics of Mario Lanza and movies too. I love opera 😍🇧🇷
I fell in love with Mario Lanzas voice when I saw him in The Great Caruso. You keep his memory alive and also the wonderful catalogue of his work. Well done and thank you. No ones voice compares with his.
You are right. No one's voice compares with his. I wonder who played Iago in that perfofmance.0p
Merci beaucoup, Vincent pour le cadeau, que Vous avez fait pour ceux qui adorent la plus belle voix du Monde! BRAVO, MARIO!👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💯
