Jean de Reszke, born Jan Mieczyslaw, (14 January 1850 – 3 April 1925), was a Polish tenor. Renowned internationally for the high quality of his singing and the elegance of his bearing, he became the biggest male opera star of the late 19th century. De Reszke was born into comfortable circumstances in the City of Warsaw in 1850. Both his parents were Poles; his father was a state official and his mother a capable amateur singer, their house being a recognized musical centre. He sang as a boy in Warsaw's cathedral and later studied law at the city's university; but after a few years he abandoned his legal training and went to Milan in Italy to study voice. The most acclaimed of the pedagogues consulted by the young de Reszke was Antonio Cotogni, an eminent baritone and a favourite singer of Giuseppe Verdi's.
