Abradale Press〕 ==Biography== Enzo Sordello born in Pievebovigliana, he went on to study at the Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi in Turin and privately with Carlo Tagliabue. In 1952, he won the International Competition organized by the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, and began appearing there in small roles. He first won recognition when he sang the role of Cinno in Spontini's ''La vestale'', opposite Maria Callas, in a production by Luchino Visconti. This led to his Metropolitan Opera debut in 1956, as Marcello in ''La bohème'', followed by Malatesta in ''Don Pasquale''. He also sang Enrico in ''Lucia di Lammermoor'', opposite Maria Callas, who, rumour has it, had him fired after the performance for holding a note longer than hers.〔''The Edmonton Journal'' (3 September 1966).
