Lucio Dalla, the singer-songwriter from Bologna, wrote both the lyrics and the music himself and released the song in October 1986 on his album \u00abDallAmeriCaruso.\u00bb The title is simply the last name of Enrico Caruso, the Neapolitan opera singer who died in 1921. After Dalla\u2019s death in March 2012, the ballad climbed once again to No. 2 on the singles charts in Italy.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abCaruso\u00bb became known worldwide primarily through Luciano Pavarotti, the tenor from Modena. His 1989 recording brought the song into concert halls, and in 1992 he sang it as a duet with Dalla. Since then, dozens of voices\u2014ranging from opera to heavy metal\u2014have put their own spin on it.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-card\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E3E7EC;

He began his career as a jazz clarinetist and, in the 1970s, became one of Italy\u2019s great cantautori\u2014songwriters who write and sing their own lyrics. In 1986, he was sailing along the coast of Campania when a mechanical failure forced him to dock in Sorrento. While his boat was being repaired, he stayed at the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria, one of the city\u2019s most historic hotels.<\/p>\n<p>The hotel gave him the Caruso Suite. Enrico Caruso had spent his final weeks here in 1921, already seriously ill, and had continued to give singing lessons. The hotel owners told Dalla about those days and about the tenor\u2019s passion for a young student. In a 2008 interview, Dalla added that the hotel\u2019s bartender had told him his aunt had been Caruso\u2019s chambermaid at the time. These stories inspired the song, the piano music in the suite.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abCaruso\u00bb was first performed live at the Rassegna San Martino Arte in San Martino Valle Caudina, a mountain town in Campania. In October 1986, it appeared as a new song on \u00abDallAmeriCaruso,\u00bb a live album recorded on March 23, 1986, at the Village Gate in New York.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Worum_geht_es_in_%C2%ABCaruso%C2%BB\"><\/span>What is \u00abCaruso\u00bb about?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00abCaruso\u00bb tells the story of a terminally ill singer who confesses his love to a young woman one evening by the sea near Sorrento. He senses that he doesn't have much time left, and that is precisely why this love feels stronger than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>Dalla doesn't mention the tenor by name in the lyrics; only the title reveals who he's thinking of. So it remains unclear how much of Caruso is in the character and how much is Dalla himself. It is precisely this ambiguity that makes the song so personal: it\u2019s about fame, which in the end no longer matters, and about a feeling that is stronger than the fear of death.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Der_Text_Strophe_fur_Strophe\"><\/span>The Lyrics, Verse by Verse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can find the full lyrics on Spotify and Apple Music; here, we\u2019re focusing on the imagery. The first verse begins like a scene from a movie. On an old terrace overlooking the Gulf of Sorrento, the sea glistens and the wind blows strongly. A man hugs a girl who has been crying, clears his throat, and starts singing again.<\/p>\n<p>In the chorus, the emotion bursts out of him. Here, Dalla shifts to the intonation of a Neapolitan song, inspired by the classic \u00abDicitencello vuje.\u00bb Love becomes something physical; it runs through his veins, and the singer can no longer hold it back.<\/p>\n<p>The second verse looks back. The lights of the fishing boats out on the water remind the man of his nights in America, of the big stages, and of the opera, where every drama is merely a performance. Then he sees the girl\u2019s green eyes right in front of him, and suddenly everything seems small\u2014even fame. In the end, he knows his life is coming to an end, but he hardly thinks about it: He feels happy and begins to sing from the beginning. The <em>lirica<\/em>, the opera, pales in comparison to a single genuine glance.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-note\">\n<div class=\"inw-note-label\">GOOD TO KNOW<\/div>\n<p>The official music video for \u00abCaruso\u00bb was filmed in the Caruso Suite at the Excelsior Vittoria in Sorrento. However, Enrico Caruso did not die there; he died on August 2, 1921, in Naples, at the Hotel Vesuvio on the waterfront.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Warum_klingt_%C2%ABCaruso%C2%BB_nach_Neapel_und_nach_Oper\"><\/span>Why does \u00abCaruso\u00bb evoke Naples and opera?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Musically, \u00abCaruso\u00bb thrives on a contrast. The verses are soft, almost spoken, accompanied by Roberto Costa on piano and Bruno Mariani on guitar. The chorus, on the other hand, opens up broadly and draws on the melody and imagery of \u00abDicitencello vuje,\u00bb the Neapolitan love song by Rodolfo Falvo and Enzo Fusco from 1930.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, \u00abCaruso\u00bb straddles two worlds. It\u2019s a pop song with \u201980s-style keyboard sounds and, at the same time, a tribute to the canzone napoletana, the genre that made Caruso himself world-famous. The reason opera singers later took such a liking to the song is because of this chorus: it calls for a voice that can project.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%ABCaruso%C2%BB_im_Video\"><\/span>\u00abCaruso\u00bb on Video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At the very top of the post is Lucio Dalla\u2019s official music video, filmed at the hotel in Sorrento where the song was written.
