Mario Del Monaco (27 July 1915{{spaced ndash}}16 October 1982)^[1] was a spectacular operatic tenor who earned worldwide acclaim for his powerful voice and acting skills.

Mario del Monaco was born in Florence to a musical upper-class family.^[2] As a young boy he studied the violin but had a passion for singing. He graduated from the Rossini Conservatory at Pesaro, where he first met and sang with Renata Tebaldi, with whom he would form something of an operatic dream team of the 1950s. His early mentors as a singer included Arturo Melocchi, his teacher at Pesaro, and Maestro Raffaelli, who recognized his talent and helped launch his career.

That career began in earnest with Mario del Monaco's debut on 31 December 1940 as Pinkerton at the Puccini Theater in Milan. His initial appearance in an opera had occurred the previous year, however, in Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana in Pesaro. He sang in Italy during the Second World War and married, in 1941, Rina Filipini. In 1946, he appeared at London's Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, for the first time. During the ensuing years he became famous not only in London but also across the operatic world for his powerful voice and heroic acting. It was resembling a heldentenor style.

Mario del Monaco Deat the New York Metropolitan Opera from 1951 to 1959, enjoying particular success in dramatic Verdi parts such as Radamès. He soon established himself as one of four Italian tenor superstars who reached the peak of their fame in the 1950s and '60s, the others being Giuseppe Di Stefano, Carlo Bergonzi and Franco Corelli. Mario del Monaco's trademark roles during this period were Giordano's Andrea Chénier and Verdi's Otello. He first tackled Otello in 1950 and kept refining his interpretation throughout the career. It is said that he acted Otello an astonishing 427 times.

The artist was buried in Otello's costume. Although this role was his favourite, throughout the career, Mario del Monaco played many roles with great talent: Canio in Pagliacci (Leoncavallo), Radames in Aida (Verdi), Don Jose in Carmen (Bizet), Chenier in Andrea Chénier (Giordano), Manrico in Il trovatore (Verdi), Samson in Samson and Delilah (Saint-Saëns), Don Alvaro in La forza del destino (Verdi), Cavaradossi in Tosca (Puccini) and many others.

Mario del Monaco made his first recordings in Milan in 1948 for HMV. Later, he was partnered by Renata Tebaldi in a long series of Verdi and Puccini operas recorded for Decca. On the same label was his 1969 recording of Giordano's Fedora, opposite Magda Olivero and Tito Gobbi.

His ringing voice and virile appearance earned him the nickname of the "Brass Bull of Milan".^[3]

The soprano Magda Olivero noted in a recent interview that:

In 1975 the artist retired from the stage.

Mario del Monaco died in Mestre as a result of nephritis.

Mario del Monaco belonged to a once flourishing lineage of dramatic tenors born in Italy. Famous predecessors of his included Francesco Tamagno, Francesco Signorini, Giuseppe Borgatti, Giovanni Zenatello, Edoardo Ferrari-Fontana, Bernardo de Muro, Giovanni Martinelli, Aureliano Pertile and Francesco Merli, among others.

His niece Donella Del Monaco, a soprano, is the singer of Opus Avantra.
