The Young Caruso

In this dramatization of the Italian tenor's life, Enrico Caruso (Maurizio di Nardo) is a boy from a large but poor family in Italy who discovers a gift for singing while in his church choir. Although his parents support him, they lack enough money for musical training. Still, their son's abilities and his love for singing are clear. As a young man, Caruso (Ermanno Randi) makes his professional debut and embarks on a career that would make him one of the leading opera singers of his time.
