He’s making opera great again. Christopher Macchio, the Long Island vocalist who stole the show singing the “Star Spangled Banner” at President Trump’s second inauguration — earning the nickname “America’s Tenor” — continues hitting high notes in his musical career now as a nationwide sensation. “As a teenager, I really wanted to keep it a secret that I could sing because I did not want anybody to ask me to perform,” Macchio, 46, told The Post.
