Galliano Masini

Galliano Masini

Galliano Masini (February 7, 1896, Livorno - February 15, 1986, Livorno) was an Italian operatic tenor, particularly associated with the "spinto" (lyric-dramatic) roles of the Italian repertory.

Masini studied in Milan with Maestro Laura, and made his debut in his native Livorno, as Cavaradossi in "Tosca" in 1923.

He sang as first tenor at the Rome Opera from 1930 to 1950, and was also a regular guest at La Scala in Milan and the Verona Arena. Outside Italy, he appeared at the Paris Opera, the Lyric Opera of Chicago (1937-38), the Metropolitan Opera in New York (1938-39), and the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires.

He was especially appreciated in roles such as Manrico, Alvaro, Radames, Loris, Calaf, although he also enjoyed success in more lyrical roles, notably as Edgardo and Rodolfo.

His impressive voice can be heard in the first complete recording of "La forza del destino", under Gino Marinuzzi. He also made a number of recordings of individual opera arias which have been re-issued on CD.
