Lina Bruna Rasa
Lina Bruna Rasa as Santuzza in Cavelleria rusticana, one of her signature roles]]
Lina Bruna Rasa (24 September 1907 Padua – October 1984 Milan) was an Italian operatic soprano. A favourite of Pietro Mascagni who considered her his ideal Santuzza, she was particularly noted for her performances in the verismo repertoire. Bruna Rasa created the roles of Atte in Mascagni's Nerone, Dolly in Wolf-Ferrari's Sly and Saint Clare in Licinio Refice's 1926 oratorio, Trittico Francescano. She also sang the role of Tsaritsa Militrisa in the Italian premiere of Rimsky-Korsakov's The Tale of Tsar Saltan.
Biography
Lina Bruna Rasa began her music studies at age 14, studying with Guido Palumbo and Italiano Tabarin in her native Padua, and later in Milan with Manlio Bavagnoli. Her appearance in a 1925 concert at the Teatro La Fenice singing the "Suicidio" aria from La Gioconda created a sensation. By the end of that year she made her operatic debut singing the role of Elena in Boito's Mefistofele Engaged by Toscanini for Helen in Mefistofele at La Scala in 1926, she subsequently sang in two world premieres there - Wolf-Ferrari's Sly (1927) and Mascagni's Nerone (1935), as well as many verismo repertory roles. She also appeared in Milan in William Tell and the Italian premiere of Tsar Saltan and as guest artist elsewhere in Italy and South America, in Monte Carlo, Frankfurt, Zurich and The Hague. Bruna-Rasa sadly suffered from debilitating psychiatric illness and retired at an early age. She died in Milan in 1984.
-Roles-
In addition to the stage roles listed below, Bruna Rasa also sang in radio performances of Rito Selvaggi's Maggiolata Veneziana and Giordano's Fedora. Less well documented are her performances in several now obscure works: Litterio Butti's Omòniza, Vincenzo Michetti's La Maddalena, Antonio Smareglia's I Pittori Fiamminghi, Alberto Franchetti's Germania, and Franco Vittadini's La Sagredo.
