Gifted with a beautiful lyric tenor voice and a handsome stage appearance, Charles Francis Hackett was one of the first American tenors to establish a solid, international career. In 1917-1918 he had great success at the Teátro Colón in Buenos Aires and in 1919 was invited to the Metropolitan Opera, making his debut there as Almaviva in Il Barbiere. He had a highly successful career at Milan, Monte Carlo, and Paris. He was engaged at the Chicago Opera (1923-31) and sang at Covent Garden (1926). This one-CD set contains highlights of Hackett's recording career. In addition to liner notes by Lawrence F. Holdridge, the booklet includes very personal recollections of Hackett, by his only son, Charles Hackett, Jr.
