  • José Luccioni (14 October 1903 in Bastia – 5 October 1978 in Marseille) was a French operatic tenor of Corsican origin. He possessed one of the best dramatic voices of the 1930s and 1940s.

He studied singing in Paris with the eminent former tenors Léon David and Léon Escalais and made his debut in Rouen as Cavaradossi in Tosca in 1931. During the 1932-33 season he debuted at both the Palais Garnier and the Opéra-Comique, where he won considerable acclaim as Don José in Carmen, a role he sang an estimated 500 times during his career. He sang widely in Europe, spending much of 1935-37 in Italy, appearing in Florence, Turin and Verona but mostly at the Rome Opera. He also appeared at the Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden, the Monte Carlo Opera, the Liceo in Barcelona and other European venues. He made his South American debut at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires in 1936, and sang in the United States at the Lyric Opera of Chicago during the 1937-38 season. Luccioni had an impressively large voice that combined beauty with power, in the tradition of his great French predecessor at the Paris Opéra, (1876–1950). He was also a fine singing-actor. Notable roles of his included Roland, Samson, Vasco, Jean, Turiddu, Canio, Chenier, Radames and Otello. He also appeared in a few motion pictures, including Colomba (1947) and Le bout de la route (1948). After retirement, he served as Director of the Opéra de Nice. His son, Jacques Luccioni, was also an opera singer, first as a tenor and later as a baritone. Luccioni died in the South of France shortly before his 75th birthday. He left a sizeable legacy of recordings made during his vocal prime. A wide selection of these recordings are available on CD. They confirm Luccioni's reputation as being one of the finest ever French dramatic tenors. (en)

Inizialmente pilota e meccanico per la casa automobilistica Citroën, la sua voce venne scoperta durante il servizio militare. Studiò canto a Parigi con i celebri tenori Léon David and e debuttò a Rouen come Cavaradossi in Tosca nel 1931. Durante la stagione 1932-33 debuttò sia al Palais Garnier che all'Opéra-Comique, dove ottenne particolare successo come Don José in Carmen, un ruolo che si stima abbia cantata circa 500 volte nel corso della carriera. Cantò in molti teatri europei, trascorrendo in Italia gran parte del periodo 1935-37, apparendo a Firenze, Torino e Verona ma soprattutto al Teatro dell'Opera di Roma. Apparve anche al Covent Garden di Londra, all'Opera di Monte Carlo, al Liceu di Barcellona e altri. Debuttò in Sudamerica al Teatro Colón di Buenos Aires nel 1936, e cantò negli Stati Uniti all'Opera di Chicago nella stagione 1937-38. Luccioni aveva una voce straordinariamente ampia, che combinava bellezza e potenza, nella tradizione del suo grande predecessore all'Opéra di Parigi, (1876–1950). Era anche un raffinato attore-cantante. Tra i suoi ruoli più significativi Roland in Esclarmonde, Sansone in Sansone e Dalila, Vasco ne L'Africana, Jean in Hérodiade di Jules Massenet, Turiddu in Cavalleria rusticana, Canio nei Pagliacci, il protagonista in Andrea Chenier, Radames in Aida e Otello nell'omonima opera di Verdi. Apparve anche in alcuni film, tra cui Colomba (1947) e Le bout de la route (1948). Dopo il ritiro dalle scene, divenne direttore dell'Opera di Nizza. Anche suo figlio, Jacques Luccioni, fu cantante operistico, prima come tenore, poi come baritono. Luccioni lasciò molte registrazioni, e un'ampia selezione è disponibile in CD. Queste registrazioni confermano la fama di Luccioni come uno dei più eleganti tenori francesi di ogni tempo. (it)
