Encyclopedia Article
John McCormack (1884-1945), Irish American tenor, born in Athlone. He joined the choir of the Dublin Cathedral in 1903. In 1907 he made his operatic debut at Covent Garden in London, and in 1909 he sang at the Manhattan Opera House in New York City. He subsequently sang with the Metropolitan and Chicago opera companies. His greatest success, however, was on the concert platform, where his rendition of Irish folk songs achieved great popularity. McCormack retired from the stage in 1938.
