CARLO BERGONZI
Carlo Bergonzi signs an index card while in New York in 1979.
Signature: "New York 1979/[in Italian not translated]/Carlo
Bergonzi", 5x3. Carlo Bergonzi's (1924-2014) imprisonment for anti-Nazi
activities during World War II delayed his operatic studies, but he was destined
to become a tenor star on the stages of La Scala, Covent Garden, and the
Metropolitan Opera. Though specializing in Verdi, he had over 40
roles in his repertory. Officially retired from 1994, he made a surprise
performance at Carnegie Hall in 2000 at the age of 75! Pencil note (unknown
hand) on verso (no show through). Fine condition.
