Corelli

After Franco Corelli’s unfortunate death, this biography has been completely rewritten and expanded. Unrivaled in his time as Caruso was before him, Corelli lived an ascetic life away from the theatre, pushing himself relentlessly to gain complete mastery of his voice, reaching new frontiers of technical virtuosity. Ms. Boagno clears up mysteries and misunderstandings that arose throughout Corelli’s career, revealing much about the man along the way. Corelli is a frank celebration of a voice that defined a period of operatic history, and of a man who lived his life for art, whose example is another important aspect of his legacy.
