Philip Maero

Philip Maero

Philip Maero (b. 1924, New York City) is an American operatic baritone, particularly associated with the Italian repertory.

He studied voice first in New York City and later in Rome. He made his debut in Italy in 1951, on Italian Radio (RAI), where he sang as soloist for four years. His career was then abruptly interrupted when he contracted poliomyelitis. Once recovered, he successfully resumed his singing career, appearing first mostly in concert.

He made his American debut in 1955, at both the Lyric Opera of Chicago and the New York City Opera. He appeared at Carnegie Hall in 1959, in a concert version of Pizzetti's "L'Assassinio nella cattedrale". He was especially admired in the title role of "Rigoletto", and Germont in "La traviata".

Recordings

He left a few recordings, notably as Enrico in "Lucia di Lammermoor", opposite Roberta Peters, as Schaunard in "La bohème", opposite Anna Moffo, and as Sharpless in "Madama Butterfly", opposite Leontyne Price.
