Liberace History:
Liberace (born Wladziu Valentino Liberace) was born to Polish-Italian immigrant parents in Wisconsin in 1919. He was a piano child prodigy and at age twenty performed as a soloist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. But instead of following a classical music career, he became an entertainer and showman in cabarets and hotels where he mixed pieces by Chopin alongside folk songs. His 1950s television program, The Liberace Show, brought his musical style to an audience of over 30 million viewers. After moving to Las Vegas, he further developed his act and his moniker “Mr. Showmanship” thanks to elaborate costumes created by famous designers. The legendary performer died in 1987 at the age of 67.
