Some years later, while singing in Philadelphia, Mario was recognized by the famous conductor, Sergei Koussevitzky. The rest is history. Among Mario's many great accomplishments he starred as his childhood idol in the box office hit, The Great Caruso . The Museum tells this story and much more, through photographs, memorabilia, paintings, gold records, and other items. Videos of his films are shown daily.
Groups are welcome, as well as individuals.
School Groups will find a visit helpful for any study of music or the entertainment industry. Mario Lanza fans will be in seventh heaven in the Museum's gift shop.
