MORRE GIUSEPPE DI STEFANO


O mundo da ópera está de luto novamente.

Giuseppe di Stefano, a flamboyant, sometimes erratic opera star who in his prime after World War II was lauded as the most thrilling Italian tenor in a generation, died on Monday at his home in Santa Maria Hoe, north of Milan. He was 86.

One of the most exciting and unpredictable tenors of the postwar era, Giuseppe di Stefano, who has died aged 86, reached the height of his fame in partnership with the soprano Maria Callas on both stage and disc during the 1950s. Much later, their relationship went somewhere beyond the artistic, when the tenor persuaded the diva to reactivate her career in a 1973 concert tour. It was something of a forlorn experience that did neither artist much good. But nothing can detract from the golden days of di Stefano's career, when he thrilled audiences with his exuberant singing and acting, a real presence in the opera house, exuding confidence in every aspect of his performance.
