Italian tenor Di Stefano dies at 86
ROME (AP) - March 3, 2008 Monika Curth says her 86-year-old husband died Monday morning at
his home near Milan from injuries sustained when he was attacked in
Kenya in 2004.
Curth says the retired tenor had been "100 percent disabled"
since unidentified assailants struck him in the head during an
attack at the house in Diani, Kenya.
From the late 1940s to the early 1960s, Di Stefano sang at the
world's top opera houses, including Milan's La Scala and New York's
Metropolitan Opera, and made frequent performances and recordings
with Callas.
