Mineo, Sal Threw him in just to shake things up a bit.
Mineo's career included involvement with opera. On May 8, 1954, he portrayed the Page (lip-synching to the voice of mezzo-soprano Carol Jones) in the NBC Opera Theatre's production of Richard Strauss' Salome (in English translation), set to Oscar Wilde's play. Elaine Malbin performed the title role, and Peter Herman Adler conducted Kirk Browning's production.
Mineo stage-directed Gian Carlo Menotti's The Medium in December 1972 in Detroit.[29] Muriel Costa-Greenspon portrayed the title character, Madame Flora, and Mineo played the mute Toby.
