Bio

Tito Gobbi (1913–1984) was an Italian baritone celebrated for his commanding stage presence and nuanced characterizations in the Italian and French operatic repertoire. Trained in Rome, he made his professional debut in 1935 and quickly became a leading figure at La Scala, Covent Garden, and the Metropolitan Opera. Renowned for roles such as Scarpia, Iago, and Falstaff, Gobbi combined vocal precision with dramatic insight, often directing as well as performing. His extensive discography includes landmark recordings of Tosca (with Maria Callas) and other core Italian operas, preserving his interpretive legacy for later generations.
