Enrico Caruso: From Naples to New York

The Italian Cultural Institute of New York celebrates Enrico Caruso, the legendary Neapolitan tenor whose voice transformed the history of music and helped bring Italian opera into the American mainstream.
The photographic and audio exhibition Enrico Caruso: From Naples to New York, first presented at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli in 2022, brings together rare photographs, historical documents, and original recordings from the collections of the Istituto Centrale per i Beni Sonori e Audiovisivi.
One of the first global opera stars and among the earliest recording artists, Caruso reached millions through the gramophone and became a symbol of Italian talent, migration, and cultural influence in America.
The exhibition is the fourth of five musical initiatives promoted by the Italian Cultural Institute of New York in partnership with Carnegie Hall’s United in Sound: America at 250 festival.
