1871 Luisa Opera Plump Signature Signed Singer Performing Tetrazzini
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting Italian opera singer, Luisa Tetrazzini, in the prime of her career in 1909. The image, signed in the lower right corner with her elegant script, "Luisa Tetrazzini," adds an intimate and historical touch to the print. Born in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy, in 1871, Tetrazzini's plump figure and powerful voice quickly gained her recognition in the world of opera. She made her debut at the Teatro Regio in Parma in 1892, and her performances in Verdi's "Rigoletto" and "La Traviata" were met with great acclaim. By the early 1900s, Tetrazzini had become an international sensation, touring Europe and the United States. In 1903, she made her American debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, where she would perform for the next 15 years. Her rendition of the aria "Vissi d'arte" from Puccini's "Tosca" became a signature piece, earning her the nickname "Queen of the American Opera." This photograph, taken during her successful American tour in 1909, showcases Tetrazzini's radiant smile and regal presence. The elegant folds of her costume and the ornate setting further emphasize her status as a celebrated opera star. As a historical artifact, this signed photograph offers a glimpse into the golden age of opera and the extraordinary career of Luisa Tetrazzini, a true icon of the stage. For any opera lover or history enthusiast, this print is a must-have addition to their collection.
