VITTORIO LOIS (PADUA, 1888 – MILAN, 1962)

 

 

 

 

He made his debut in 1912 at the Teatro Sociale in Crema in Madama Butterfly. He was a member of traveling Italian opera societies, with which he performed in Australia and Singapore. He also guested at the Coliseo Recrejos in Lisbon in 1929 and at the Royal Opera House in Malta in 1923. In 1925, he appeared in the festival at the Arena of Verona as Enzo in La Gioconda. Unfortunately, his career was impaired by a progressive eye condition, which eventually led to his complete loss of sight.
