HAND SIGNED 

Rosetta Pampanini was born in Milan into a musical family. 

She initiallly trained to become a teacher but eventually decided to study voice. 

She was taught by the couple Emma and Lorenzo Molajoli and made her debut in 1920 

at the Teatro Nazionale in Rome as Micaela. 

Subsequently she appeared at numerous Italian opera houses.  In the first years of her career

 she built up her repertory under Tullio Serafin’s guidance.  

Of great importance was her association with Pietro Mascagni

 who often conducted her in his opera Iris.

Pampanini’s success in the role re-established the piece from 1898

 in the contemporary repertoire. Another significant mentor was Arturo Toscanini. 

He conducted the revival of Puccini’s Madame Butterfly at La Scala in 1925, 

with Rosetta Pampanini in the title role. The 12 performances turned out to be a complete triumph -

 not least because of the heroine whose artistry ensured that Madame Butterfly soon became one

 of the most popular operas. Not only did Pampanini help to establish Madame Butterfly, the role 

of Cio-Cio-San also made her to one of the most splendid Italian artists of the time. 

She remained at La Scala as long as Toscanini stayed there (until 1930),  appearing in a number

 of world premieres of then contemporary operas as well as in her Puccini repertoire. 

She also toured with the Scala ensemble. Toscanini invited her to Berlin to sing Manon Lescaut

 and Madame Butterfly (1929). Covent Garden saw her in her Puccini parts. 

From 1926 she was a regular guest at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. 

In the season 1931/32 she was engaged as Butterfly, Nedda and Mimì at the Chicago Opera,

but was not reinvited later. Further performances at the opera houses of Vienna (1930-1932),

Oslo (1933) and Prague (1935) followed. 

A special occasion was her performance of Mimì in a performance of La Bohème,

 conducted by Pietro Mascagni in Puccini’s home town Torre del Lago.

From 1937 she turned to more dramatic roles such as Leonora in La Forza del destino, 

Aida and Maddalena. Rosetta Pampanini bade farewell to the stage in 1946. 

After her retirement she worked as a singing coach and died in 1973.
