Giacomo Lauri-Volpi (11 December 1892 – 17 March 1979) was an Italian tenor with a lyric-dramatic voice of exceptional range and technical facility. He performed throughout Europe and the Americas in a top-class career that spanned 40 years. Career and assessment. Recordings and writings.
Giacomo Lauri-Volpi Jacques Offenbach Orchestra and Chorus of the Metropolitan Opera. 15. Carmen: La fleur que tu m'avais jetée (Recorded 1930).
Lauri-Volpi first appeared at the Metropolitan Opera on January 26, 1923, as the Duke, opening a decade-long relationship with that house singing, among other roles, the first American performance of Rodolfo in Verdi's Luisa Miller. He sang in the November 16, 1926, American premiere of Turandot, Calaf being a perfect match for his firm legato and brilliant top notes. Apparent fee problems kept Lauri-Volpi away from London until 1936, when he returned as the Duke in Rigoletto and refused, perhaps because of a tepid reception, to take even a single curtain call. As Radames and Cavaradossi, the tenor had better fortune, being well-received in both roles and, in the latter, showing his ability to out-sing a too-loud orchestra.
L'amico Nikola Stojcheski Tenor (Opéra de Lille, Makedonska Opera), ha omaggiato la figura di Giacomo Lauri-Volpi cantando l'ultima parte della gelida manina. La Bohéme era uno dei grandi cavalli di battaglia del celebre tenore. Giacomo Lauri-Volpi (11 December 1892 – 17 March 1979) was an Italian tenor with a lyric-dramatic voice of exceptional range and technical facility. Born in Lanuvio, Italy, he was orphaned at the age of 11.
