John Hudson – Mario Lanza and Me

A long-standing principal for the English National Opera, Welsh National Opera, Scottish Opera and frequent guest for opera companies worldwide, John credits a chance encounter in 1973 with a gramophone and a Mario Lanza LP as a life-changing moment.

His show is a loving tribute to one of the world’s greatest voices. John shows us how Mario changed not only his life, but the lives of many more. Stolen from the opera world by Hollywood, Mario Lanza became the world’s first “crossover” artist.
