July 13 - Carlo Bergonzi (The Musical Birthday Series)

Carlo Bergonzi (13 July 1924 – 25 July 2014) was one of the great operatic tenors of the last century.


Verdiana
 
When Carlo Bergonzi sang Verdi
  A special event was in store --
Traviata, Un Ballo, Don Carlo
  Rigoletto, Aida, Trovator’,

And then there were so many others
  Away from the repertoire’s core —
Attila, Oberto, Aroldo -
  The one’s not performed anymore.

So if you’re a lover of Verdi,
  And there’s rather a lot to explore,
Just listen to Carlo Bergonzi
  And find there are glories galore.
