Hmm.... could that be why a certain self-declared 'mentor'/'leader'
plagueing the group has never left its 'home' in 74 (and counting)
years?

My guess:
Yes!

Gigli someone said???Funny...can't they hear the sound
quality...modern......

Who knows..but it is so hard to do...and it happens to the best of
them..listen to Gedda on a La Donna e mobile..or Pav sometimes...I am
sure Caruso cracked....some voices, however COULD NOT crack..like
Tucker's for example..amazing....

OTOH, it's permitted when the tenor is singing 'Jim CRACK Corn'!

LT,
recalling that tune used as the 'Gallo Wine' theme:  'Gallo makes
wine, with loving care, where grapes grow fine with flavor, rare!
etc."
  -But WHO was the fine baritone it was performed by, in the ad?   As
I recall, he resembled the actor, John Hart (who'd filled-in as 'The
Lone Ranger' for Clayton Moore, years before)- Hide quoted text -

PS:
Hi again! I'd be remiss not to mention the reason for Maestro Moore's
hiatus from the series: He wanted increased pay for starring in it,
and TPTB weren't agreeing to his terms. Enter: John Hart (aka
'Hawkeye', in a 'Last of the Mohicans' series, later on [and co-
starring Lon Chaney Jr. as 'Chingachgook']); He took over as the
Masked Man for a while, but audiences wouldn't accept the new 'Lone
Ranger'. Result: Maestro Moore, 'THE' Once and Always Lone Ranger',
returned to the role, as before.

As to Opera Relevance: one need only note the series' theme song.
-And THAT - is wunnerful.
