Franco De Gregorio (Tenor) (Palermo 1875 - ?)
He began his career in italian provincial theaters where he sang during the first decade of the 20th century. In 1908 at the Teatro Nazionale in Rome he sang the role of Edgardo in Donizetti’s ‘’Lucia di Lammermoor’’. In the next year he appeared at the Teatro Rossi in Pisa as Fra Diavolo in D. Auber’s opera of the same name. In 1911 he guested during a season at the Italian opera in Holland. From 1915 to 1920 he traveled with smaller opera troops through North America. In 1919 he sang with the San Carlo Opera Company in New York as Turiddu in Mascagni’s ‘’Cavalleria rusticana’’, while soprano Rose Ponselle appeared as Santuzza. Probably after finishing his career, De Gregorio taught in USA.
