Giuseppe Campora

In 1954 he was the dubbed voice for Nicolai Filacuridi as Pinkerton in the Carmine Gallone directed film of Madama Butterfly.

Campora enjoyed successes in all the major theatres of Italy (including Maurizio in Adriana Lecouvreur with Magda Olivero at the Teatro alla Scala, 1958), as well as at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, where his performances of the 1950s and 1960s are still fondly remembered.

[citation needed] He was the Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor, in Maria Callas's only Met broadcast, in 1956.

In 1973, he debuted at the New York City Opera as the Chevalier des Grieux, in Manon.

In 1980, he was heard at the San Diego Opera in Die Fledermaus, opposite Dame Joan Sutherland and Beverly Sills, in their only joint appearance.
