Mario Filippeschi
Mario Filippeschi was an Italian tenor, particularly associated with the Italian repertory, renowned for his ringing upper register. Filippeschi studied the clarinet for two years as a teenager, before joining military service. After military discharge he began studying voice with a Neapolitan teacher, Mr. Vicidomini, and with an orchestra conductor and composer, Mr. Cataldi-Tassoni, in Milan, and later with Mr. Pessina, in Florence. He made his professional debut in Colorno, near Parma, as Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor, in 1937. He quickly sang throughout Italy, France, Spain and Portugal, as well as Latin America. He first concentrated on lyrical roles such as the Duke in Rigoletto, Alfredo in La traviata, Rodolfo in La Bohème, Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly, etc., and was one of the few tenors of his generation to tackle with success such high lying roles as Arnold in Guglielmo Tell and Arturo in I puritani. After the war, he began adding more dramatic roles to his repertory. In 1950, he appeared to great acclaim in Mexico, as Radames in Aida, and as Cavaradossi in Tosca, opposite the young Maria Callas.
