Enrico Caruso (25 February 1873 – 2 August 1921) was an Italian tenor generally acknowledged as one of the greatest tenors of all time.
Caruso at the Met (1)
Caruso performed when the Met
Was as starry as starry can get,
And singers from Naples
Were regular staples
In the great Rigoletto quartet.

Caruso at the Met (2)
A dowager raise her lorgnette
To note that the Met was beset
With Caruso’s battalions
Of low-class Italians,
Which caused her patrician regret.
