Beschreibung

Uncoloured lithograph by Rigo Alexandre Lacauchie, 25 x 16 cm. Mario (1810-83) was an Italian opera singer, considered to be the most famous tenor of the 19th century. His real name and hereditary title was cavaliere nobile ("noble knight") don Giovanni Matteo de Candia. Born in Cagliari, Mario came from a noble Sicilian family. He made his operatic debut in Paris in 1838, as the hero of Meyerbeer's Robert le Diable. In 1839, he joined the Théâtre Italien, which included on its roster of artists such celebrated singers as Maria Malibran, Henriette Sontag, Fanny Tacchinardi Persiani, Giulia Grisi, Giovanni Battista Rubini, Antonio Tamburini and Luigi Lablache. His initial appearance with this company was in the role of Nemorino in Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore. London heard him for the first time during the course of that same year.
