Vincent Donato

Vincent Donato would now be all but forgotten, if there wasn't a concert performance of Aida with youthful Beverly Sills on October 19th, 1955, in Paterson, NJ, where he sings Radames. (For a certain time, there was a lot of confusion on the internet who that performance's tenor actually was, Donato or Victor Mincieli. Actually, Mincieli was a baritone, and sang Amonasro.)
In opera, Donato's career seems to have been quite limited; among his few documented appearances is another Aida a few years earlier in Philadelphia, where he sang the Messenger, though. However, he was in the cast of the 1956 Broadway production of Bernstein's Candide (under the stage name Tony Drake), and was obviously quite successful on the radio and with concert tours; for 20 years, he had his own concert ensemble together with his (soprano) wife Jeanne, "Vince Donato and Sounds of Joy".
Later on, he became a much beloved voice teacher.

I wish to thank Paul Cammarata for a clarification about Donato's stage name.
