Originally composed in 1898 by Eduardo di Capua with lyrics by Giovanni Capurro, “O Sole Mio” is one of the most recognized songs in the world. Often associated with operatic tenors, the piece has become a symbol of Italian music heritage.
Over the years, the song has been reinterpreted by countless artists, including Luciano Pavarotti, who famously performed it during his career, and Elvis Presley, who adapted it into “It’s Now or Never” in 1960. Despite its many versions, the song remains a true test of a singer’s ability to convey both technical mastery and emotional resonance.
