Fodor's Review:
In this museum you'll find memorabilia devoted to the famous tenor and Hollywood star (1921-59). Lanza was supposedly moving a piano into the Academy of Music when he seized the opportunity to sing from its stage -- and was discovered. Arturo Toscanini said that Lanza had perhaps the greatest natural voice of the century. Lanza's birthplace, at 634 Christian Street, is about a block away.
