Nicola Moscona was a Greek-born bass, long associated with the Metropolitan Opera. He was admired in Italian, French and Russian repertory and appeared in many important broadcasts.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears extensively in Verdi, Puccini, Gounod and other opera recordings, often alongside Jussi Björling, Zinka Milanov, Bidú Sayão and Leonard Warren.

Moscona’s singing brought firm bass authority, warmth and theatrical reliability to a wide span of Met repertory.
