Life
Caterina Barili was prima donna at various Italian opera houses and performed e.g. B. as Elvira in Vincenzo Bellini's opera I puritani at the Teatro San Carlo in Naples. In the early 1840s she had an engagement at the Madrid Opera House. At the end of the 1840s she lost her voice, the New York Herald stated in 1848 on the occasion of her appearance in Bellini's I Capuleti ei Montecchi in Castle Garden : " Her voice is a mere wrack - a ruin ".
Her first marriage was to the composer Francesco Barili (who also trained her), after whose death she married the singer and impresario Salvatore Patti . She had a total of eight children, all of whom became musicians: from her marriage to Barili the singers Clotilda , Ettore and Nicola as well as the singer and conductor Antonio Barili , from her marriage to Patti the famous singer Adelina Patti and her siblings Amelia and Carlotta , who likewise became known as a singer and the violinist and conductor Carlo .
