The first national museum dedicated to the legend of world opera, the outstanding Italian tenor Enrico Caruso, was opened in his homeland, in Naples.
Long before Luciano Pavarotti, it was Caruso who represented Italian opera all over the world, making his work accessible to the greatest number of people thanks to gramophone recordings. Caruso became the first artist to sell a million records.
During his life, the singer, born in 1873, gave almost two thousand concerts on the stages of different cities of the world – from St. Petersburg to Buenos Aires.
Almost half of Caruso's performances took place at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, where he sang for 18 consecutive seasons, starting in 1903.
Despite his worldwide success, after performing at the Naples San Carlo Theater in 1901, Caruso received bad reviews, after which he vowed never to sing in Naples again.
Caruso died in his hometown in 1921 at the age of 48.
