Be My Love: A Tribute To Mario Lanza
Romance, Faith And Courage In The Great Tenor Tradition.
Philadelphia-born tenor Stephen Costello pays tribute to the singer who first made him believe that opera belonged to everyday people. Be My Love: A Tribute To Mario Lanza gathers twelve songs that Mario Lanza made famous, from the inspirational “Without a Song” and the anthem “You’ll Never Walk Alone” to romantic ballads such as “Because”, “Yours Is My Heart Alone” and the title song. The Student Prince numbers “Serenade”, “Golden Days”, “Beloved” and “I’ll Walk with God” sit alongside Malotte’s “The Lord’s Prayer”, Rodgers’s “With a Song in My Heart” and the exuberant bolero “Granada”. All are newly arranged by Flaviu Mogosan.
Costello, a Richard Tucker Award winner and a regular at the Metropolitan Opera and Europe’s great houses, brings open throated passion, long legato lines and ringing high notes to this repertoire.
Four-time Grammy-nominated conductor Constantine Orbelian, called “the singer’s dream collaborator” by Opera News, leads the Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra, with whom Costello previously made the Grammy-nominated A te, o cara.
Recorded in May 2025 at the Kaunas Philharmonic in Lithuania, Be My Love is a heartfelt, romantic collection that carries Lanza’s legacy forward for a new generation.
