MinO Martini to
 Sing Highest Aria

Mino Martini, brilliant young Italian tenor of concert, opcratic, and radio fame, will sing tho high est operatic tenor aria ever com posed, tho beautiful "Crcdea sj Mlscra. Ella Tremanto" from Belllnis "I Puritani" (Thc Puri- tnns) when he appears before a WABC- Columbia micrcphono on nationwide network of stations, to- night from J1:00 to 11:30 D. m, EST.
 This aria, written in Paris in 1885, was composed especially for the greet Giovanni Rublni, the out standing tenor of hts time. Rubinfs remarkable voice range covered tho span between baritone and colorntura soprano, extending up to F above high C. Tho opera, "f Puritani," was dedicated to Rubini and during his lifetime he was the only vocalist capable of singing 1t. At his death in 1854, tho opera was dropped from the repertoire of italian companies and perform- cd only occasionally In q trans posed version.
 Aftef more tnun ~ youTS VI comparative scclusi0n, the opera was finally revived in It's original key by Nino Martini. The young tenor had just made his phena- mcnally successful debut in "Rigo- letto" when rival maestro per- sunded him to star in the Rublni work. In 1928 nt the inauguration of the Teatr0 del popolo in Milan. Martini received the greatest ova- ton of his life after singing the principal aria of the Bcllini opera. Following this performance. he ap. pcared in the opera for 10 per formnnces at the Teatro Pucclni, and later sang the principal aria in n special auditor for Toscanlni.
 Martinis broadcast of the Bel lIni composition will mark It's pre- miere' on tho air and its first per. formance in America in the orig inai version. Like Rublni. Martini is probably the only tenor of his time capable of singing the "Creden si Miacrn. Ella 0 Tremante" as Bellini wrote it.
