Madame Frezzolini, 1850. Creator: Unknown.

Madame Frezzolini, 1850. Italian opera singer, who '...has a voice of the highest soprano quality. She possesses great musical science as well as great enthusiasm, and, for the expression of passion, she is without a superior on the stage...Her magnificent Roman countenance and disinvoltura, her splendid stage figure, and the elegance and dignity of her dramatic bearing, complete her qualifications for the highest position on the stage...in 1847, she was tempted by an enormous salary to St. Petersburgh, whose cold, unchanging, but bracing climate she found of the greatest benefit...her success was greater than that of any singer who had previously visited that capital. She has been re-engaged there for three successive seasons; and the Emperor and Empress...have loaded her with kindness and magnificent presents..'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
