1956. unbound. Outstanding black-and-white photograph measuring 10 x 8 inches -- a head and shoulders shot, signed but not personalized: "In remembrance of my recital in Lancaster, 1956." Very good condition. Bass-baritone opera star who was an original member of the Belcanto Trio, with Mario Lanza and Francis Yeend. As a star of the Vienna State Opera, he sang opposite Maria Callas. Tragically, his career came to an abrupt end in 1967 due to a paralyzed vocal chord. (Inventory #: 216127)
