volcanohunter Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) The great Mirella Freni has died. Quote She was the last in a line of Italian sopranos who prompted ovations with their entrances alone, a link to singers from the golden era and earlier such as Renata Tebaldi, Licia Albanese, Magda Olivero, Maria Caniglia, Amelita Galli-Curci and Luisa Tetrazzini. Broadway playwright Albert Innaurato dubbed Freni “the last prima donna.” https://apnews.com/04d05af367659b08791ca27e09b119d6 Edited February 10, 2020 by volcanohunter Link to comment
Helene Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 She was such a beautiful singer. From the time I was young, I devoured her recordings. Rest in peace, Mirella Freni. Link to comment
