Here is a 27 year old Mario Lanza singing Puccini's Nessun Dorma from Turandot live at the Hollywood Bowl in 1948. Much more superior to his 1955 studio recording for his movie 'Serenade'. In my opinion, Lanza would have made an excellent Calaf on the stage!
This also gives some insight to how he may have sounded in his 2 performances as Pinkerton in Puccini's Madama Butterfly in April of the same year...
