ISABELLA PAOLI (FIRENZE, 1860 – BOLOGNA, 1903)

 

 

 

She began her career in 1878 in operetta. Blessed with both beauty and vocal talent, she quickly achieved great success. She later turned to opera, appearing in Valencia in 1889 as Elsa in Lohengrin. Performing in numerous Italian theatres, including the Politeama in Genoa, Teatro Dal Verme in Milano, and Teatro Mercadante in Naples, Paoli attracted attention both for her stage performances and her prima donna behavior, which led to notable scandals and eccentricities. She died from complications following surgery while engaged to sing Gioconda at the Duse Theater in Bologna. Based on her recordings, she was considered one of the great dramatic sopranos of her era.
