**Antonino Votto** was an Italian conductor celebrated for his work in the opera world, particularly known for his collaborations with legendary singers like Maria Callas. Born in 1896, Votto became a key figure at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala, where he championed works by Verdi, Puccini, and Bellini with a focus on lush, singer-friendly interpretations. His 1950s recordings, including a fiery *La bohème* and a timeless *Norma* with Callas, showcase his knack for balancing drama and lyrical flow. Though less flashy than some of his peers, Votto’s steady hand and deep respect for tradition made him a backbone of the Italian opera scene until his death in 1985.
