Tito Gobbi was an Italian operatic baritone born on 24 October 1913 in Bassano del Grappa. He initially studied law at the University of Padua before moving to Rome in 1932 to study singing with Giulio Crimi. Gobbi made his professional debut in 1935 as Count Rodolfo in Bellini’s La sonnambula. He established his career in major Italian venues and performed at La Scala for the first time in 1942 as Belcore in L'elisir d'amore. He transitioned to film acting in 1937 and appeared in productions including The Barber of Seville (1947) and The Glass Mountain (1949). Gobbi began performing internationally after World War II, appearing at the San Francisco Opera in 1948 and the Royal Opera House in 1950. He made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 1956 as Scarpia in Tosca. In 1965, he turned toward stage direction with a production of Simon Boccanegra.
