Mario GILION, tenor

MARIO GILION was born in Marseille in 1870 and died in 1914 at the early age of fortyfour. He made his début at Monza in 1901 as Vasco da Gama in Meyerbeer's L'Africaine. In 1902 he appeared in Modena, Budapest, Venice, Genoa and Turin where he sang Manrico in a performance of Il Trovatore with Magini-Coletti as de Luna. He was in Warsaw in 1905, where he sang as Arnoldo to the Guillaume Tell of Battistini, and for the next few years had a busy international career. One of his last performances was at the Liceo, Barcelona, where he sang Manrico to the Leonora of Boninsegna, in 1912.
