Mario Lanza: Opera Arias and Duets is a compact disc from RCA Victor released October 8, 2001, of recordings re-mastered in 1999. At the time of its release, it was the only all-operatic Mario Lanza CD collection that RCA has issued. It includes several previously unreleased versions of a number of operatic arias associated with Lanza, together with the duet "Dio ti giocondi" from Otello with soprano Licia Albanese, the Improvviso ("Un di all'azzurro spazio") from Andrea Chénier, and "M'appari" from Martha. The CD also includes four recordings from The Mario Lanza Radio Show. Writing in Records and Recordings in October 1967, the critic Delcie C. Howard described Lanza's recording of the Improvviso featured here as "a well-nigh model account of this impassioned outpouring".
