(Amadeus). His exceptional good looks made him a matinee idol, and
Franco Corelli the Prince of Tenors was dubbed "Mr. Soldout" for 20
consecutive years. In 1958, just seven years after beginning his
career, he was already the highest-paid tenor in Italy. Following
his Met debut in 1961, he was celebrated as the greatest tenor in
the world, a position that he retained until his departure from the
Met in 1975. His charismatic performances in such operas as La
Vestale and Fedora (both in collaboration with Maria Callas),
coupled with a formidable mystique, as well as a number of
notorious and colorful incidents, including his real-life sword
fight with Boris Christoff in Rome, the Callas walkout there, the
beating up of a spectator in Naples, and the alleged biting of
Birgit Nilsson on a Boston tour of Turandot, created a mania for
Corelli. Nearly a decade in the making, this definitive biography
is based on the author's extensive research of theater archives and
interviews with the opera star's numerous friends, family members,
colleagues (Nilsson, Pavarotti, and many others), as well as the
management of some of the world's leading opera houses.
