Please tell me, as a Mario Lanza fan of many years' standing -- and as a contributor to a recent biography on this tenor -- I would love to know the *name* of the opera that your grandmother appeared in with Lanza! We've always known that he appeared in some local YMCA opera productions as a youth in South Philly, but the titles of those operas have usually eluded us. Any info at all that you can provide would be enormously appreciated. All my best Derek McGovern Dear Maria: Many thanks for this wonderful piece!
