The Painted Veil by W. To Have or to Be? Sotto la cappa del camino: Puccini considered casting the young Caruso in the role of Cavaradossi in Tosca at its premiere in , but ultimately chose the older, more established Emilio De Marchi instead. Salanto, medal maker's signature. Caruso took part in a grand concert at La Scala in February that Toscanini organised to mark the recent death of Giuseppe Verdi. He embarked on his last series of La Scala performances in March , creating along the way the principal tenor part in Germania by Alberto Franchetti.
These ten discs swiftly became best-sellers. Among other things, they helped spread year-old Caruso's fame throughout the English-speaking world. They would sing together often during the early s. In her memoirs, Melba praised Caruso's voice but considered him to be a less sophisticated musician and interpretive artist than Jean de Reszke —the Met's biggest tenor drawcard prior to Caruso. Caruso's contract had been negotiated by his agent, the banker and impresario Pasquale Simonelli.
Caruso's debut was in a new production of Rigoletto on 23 November This time, Marcella Sembrich sang opposite him as Gilda. A few months later, he began his lifelong association with the Victor Talking Machine Company. He made his first American records on 1 February , having signed a lucrative financial deal with Victor. Thereafter, his recording career ran in tandem with his Met career, both bolstering each other, until his death in Caruso purchased the Villa Bellosguardo , a palatial country house near Florence , in The villa became his retreat away from the pressures of the operatic stage and the grind of travel.
He presented the medal in gratitude to Simonelli as a souvenir of his many well-remunerated performances at the Met. In addition to his regular New York engagements, Caruso gave recitals and operatic performances in a large number of cities across the United States and sang in Canada. He also continued to sing widely in Europe, appearing again at Covent Garden in —07 and —14, and undertaking a UK tour in In , Melba asked him to participate in her forthcoming tour of Australia, but he declined because of the significant amount of travel time that such a trip would entail.
Members of the Met's roster of artists, including Caruso, had visited San Francisco in April for a series of performances. He found himself in the middle of the San Francisco earthquake , which led to a series of fires that destroyed most of the city. The Met lost all the sets, costumes and musical instruments that it had brought on tour but none of the artists was harmed. Holding an autographed photo of President Theodore Roosevelt , Caruso ran from the hotel, but was composed enough to walk to the St.
Francis Hotel for breakfast. Charlie Olson, the broiler cook, made the tenor bacon and eggs. He vowed never to return to San Francisco and kept his word. The police accused him of pinching the buttocks of a married woman. Caruso claimed a monkey did the bottom-pinching. He was found guilty and fined 10 dollars, although suspicions linger that he may have been entrapped by the victim and the arresting officer.
The leaders of New York's opera-going high society were outraged initially by the incident, which received widespread newspaper coverage, but they soon forgot about it and continued to attend Caruso's Met performances. Members of America's middle classes also paid to hear him sing—or buy copies of his recordings—and he enjoyed a substantial following among New York's , Italian immigrants. The composer conceived the music for Johnson with Caruso's voice specifically in mind. Toscanini, then the Met's principal conductor, presided in the orchestra pit.
Caruso's success in the Metropolitan Opera drew the attention of Black Hand extortionists.
In , he was paid the enormous sum of 10, U. Caruso did extensive charity work during the conflict, raising money for war-related patriotic causes by giving concerts and participating enthusiastically in Liberty Bond drives. The tenor had shown himself to be a shrewd businessman since arriving in America. He put a sizable proportion of his earnings from record royalties and singing fees into a range of investments. Ada had left her husband, manufacturer Gino Botti, and an existing son to cohabit with the tenor. Information provided in Scott's biography of Caruso suggests that she was his vocal coach as well as his lover.
Giachetti's subsequent attempts to sue him for damages were dismissed by the courts. Towards the end of the war, Caruso met and courted a year-old socialite, Dorothy Park Benjamin — She was the daughter of a wealthy New York patent lawyer. In spite of the disapproval of Dorothy's father, the couple wed on 20 August They had a daughter, Gloria Caruso — Dorothy wrote two biographies of Caruso, published in and The books include many of Caruso's letters to his wife. A fastidious dresser, Caruso took at least two baths a day and enjoyed good food and convivial company.
Caruso was superstitious and habitually carried several good-luck charms with him when he sang. He played cards for relaxation and sketched friends, other singers and musicians. His wife, Dorothy said that by the time she knew him, her husband's favorite hobby was compiling scrapbooks. He also amassed a valuable collection of rare postage stamps, coins, watches and antique snuffboxes. Caruso was a heavy smoker of strong Egyptian cigarettes, too.
This deleterious habit, combined with a lack of exercise and the punishing schedule of performances that Caruso willingly undertook season after season at the Met, may have contributed to the persistent ill-health which afflicted the last year of his life. He recorded several discs including the Domine Deus and Crucifixus from the Petite messe solennelle by Rossini. These recordings were to be his last. Dorothy Caruso noted that her husband's health began a distinct downward spiral in late after he returned from a lengthy North American concert tour.
In his biography, Enrico Caruso, Jr. A falling pillar in Samson and Delilah on 3 December had hit him on the back, over the left kidney and not on the chest as popularly reported. It appeared to be a severe episode of bronchitis. Caruso's physician, Philip Horowitz, who usually treated him for migraine headaches with a kind of primitive TENS unit , diagnosed "intercostal neuralgia" and pronounced him fit to appear on stage, although the pain continued to hinder his voice production and movements.
During a performance of L'elisir d'amore by Donizetti at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on December 11, , he suffered a throat haemorrhage and the performance was canceled at the end of Act 1. By Christmas Day, the pain in his side was so excruciating that he was screaming. Dorothy summoned the hotel physician, who gave Caruso some morphine and codeine and called in another doctor, Evan M. Evans brought in three other doctors and Caruso finally received a correct diagnosis: Caruso's health deteriorated further during the new year. He experienced episodes of intense pain because of the infection and underwent seven surgical procedures to drain fluid from his chest and lungs.
According to Dorothy Caruso, he seemed to be recovering, but allowed himself to be examined by an unhygienic local doctor and his condition worsened dramatically after that. He was on his way to Rome to see them but, while staying overnight in the Vesuvio Hotel in Naples, he took an alarming turn for the worse and was given morphine to help him sleep. Caruso died at the hotel shortly after 9: The Bastianellis attributed the likely cause of death to peritonitis arising from a burst subphrenic abscess.
His embalmed body was preserved in a glass sarcophagus at Del Pianto Cemetery in Naples for mourners to view. Caruso's year career, stretching from to , included appearances at the New York Metropolitan Opera before he died at the age of Thanks in part to his tremendously popular phonograph records, Caruso was one of the most famous personalities of his day and his fame has endured to the present.
He was one of the first examples of a global media celebrity. Beyond records, Caruso's name became familiar to millions through newspapers, books, magazines, and the new media technology of the 20th century: Caruso toured widely both with the Metropolitan Opera touring company and on his own, giving hundreds of performances throughout Europe, and North and South America. He was a client of the noted promoter Edward Bernays , during the latter's tenure as a press agent in the United States. Beverly Sills noted in an interview: The popularity that Caruso enjoyed without any of this technological assistance is astonishing.
Caruso biographers Pierre Key, Bruno Zirato and Stanley Jackson [43] [44] attribute Caruso's fame not only to his voice and musicianship but also to a keen business sense and an enthusiastic embrace of commercial sound recording , then in its infancy. Many opera singers of Caruso's time rejected the phonograph or gramophone owing to the low fidelity of early discs. Others, including Adelina Patti , Francesco Tamagno and Nellie Melba , exploited the new technology once they became aware of the financial returns that Caruso was reaping from his initial recording sessions.
Caruso made more than extant recordings in America for the Victor Talking Machine Company later RCA Victor from to , and he and his heirs earned millions of dollars in royalties from the retail sales of these records. He was also heard live from the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House in , when he participated in the first public radio broadcast to be transmitted in the United States.
Caruso also appeared in two motion pictures. This film included a sequence depicting him on stage performing the aria Vesti la giubba from Leoncavallo 's opera Pagliacci. Brief candid glimpses of Caruso offstage have been preserved in contemporary newsreel footage. Caruso's voice extended up to high D-flat in its prime and grew in power and weight as he grew older. At times, his voice took on a dark, almost baritonal coloration. During his lifetime, Caruso received many orders, decorations, testimonials and other kinds of honors from monarchs, governments and miscellaneous cultural bodies of the various nations in which he sang.
He was also the recipient of Italian knighthoods. In , he was elected an honorary member of the Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia , the national fraternity for men involved in music, by the fraternity's Alpha chapter of the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. In , for his contribution to the recording industry, Caruso received a star located at Hollywood Boulevard on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Caruso was posthumously awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in On 27 February of that same year, the United States Postal Service issued a cent postage stamp in his honor. Caruso's operatic repertoire consisted primarily of Italian works along with a few roles in French. Below are the first performances by Caruso, in chronological order, of each of the operas that he undertook on the stage.
Caruso also had a repertory of more than songs.
