Before Elvis and before The Beatles, there was Mario Lanza…a true superstar before the word even existed. An unparalleled singer and film star of his time, Lanza’s legend continues today. The story of his extraordinary rise to fame is told in a brand-new feature documentary Mario Lanz The Best of Everything which is set for its international broadcast and a UK DVD debut on 20 March 2017 courtesy of Screenbound Pictures.
Mario Lanza was the most famous tenor the world had ever known. Even the greatest tenors of the modern era – Pavarotti, Carreras, Domingo and Bocelli – all trace their inspiration back to Lanza. Pop greats such as Elvis and Frank Sinatra also saw him as a great influence and possessing a voice that could never be equalled. Trained for a career in opera, Lanza became the first true crossover artist when MGM made him a matinee idol during the 1950s with box office hits such as The Toast of New Orleans and The Great Caruso, which was the highest grossing film at the global box office in 1951.
Mario Lanz The Best of Everything is an official new documentary complete with footage of the great man himself and revealing interviews with Russell Watson, Lesley Garrett, Jospeh Valleja, Ellisa Lanza Bregman, Gianluca Terranova, Steve Hackett, Derek Mannering and Dr Voice.
