Thoughts on my life and budding career and the things that distract me...like kittens and Doctor Who.

 

Lucrezia Aguiari (sometimes spelled Agujari) (1741 – 18 May 1783) was an Italian coloratura soprano. She possessed an unusually agile voice with a large vocal range that spanned slightly more than three and a half octaves; faculties that enabled her to perform the most difficult passage work. In a letter dated 24 March 1770 Leopold Mozart wrote of hearing her perform a C an octave above high C at the Ducal opera of Parma, “I could not believe that she was able to reach C soprano acuto, but my ears convinced me.”[1] Aldous Huxley also mentioned this event in his novel, Brave New World.

I am thinking of starting a “The Ladies of Bel Canto” blog. Thoughts?
