Adelina Patti

Adelina Patti (1843-1919), born Adela Juana Maria Patti, was a Spanish opera singer, prima donna, born in Madrid, of Italian extraction. She later carried a French passport, as her first two husbands were French. She made her first appearance at New York in 1859, and in London at Covent Garden, as Amina in "La Somnambula," in 1861, and has since made the round once and again of the Continent and America, North and South. She was married three times, being divorced by her first husband, and lived at Craig-y-nos Castle, near Swansea, Wales.
