High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Antonio Paoli was a Puerto Rican tenor. He was known at the height of his fame as "The King of Tenors and The Tenor of Kings". He is considered to be the first Puerto Rican to reach international fame in the musical arts. Paoli has been recognized as "one of the most outstanding opera singers of all times", and as one who had "one of the most lyric and powerful voices ... superior even to his contemporary rival, Enrico Caruso." After spending his childhood in his birth town of Ponce, Paoli moved to Spain where, with the assistance of his well-connected sister Amalia, he obtained a Royal scholarship to take singing lessons in Italy. After singing to standing ovation crowds in both Spain and Italy, Paoli made his grand debut in Paris, France, where he was told he needed to prove himself to succeed elsewhere. Before the end of the 18th century and while Paoli was in his late twenties, he went on a tour of Europe that earned him great honors from princes, kings, and emperors.
