It was then at the Manhattan Opera House in 1909 with Luisa Tetrazzini, John McCormack, and Charles Gilibert, and again with Frieda Hempel and Antonio Scotti in the same roles at the Met on December 17, 1917.

Luisa Tetrazzini ( June 29, 1871 – April 28, 1940 ) was an Italian coloratura soprano of great international fame.

Tetrazzini was born in Florence, the daughter of a military tailor.

Her first voice teacher was her elder sister, Eva Tetrazzini ( 1862 – 1938 ), who also was a successful singer.

In 1907 Tetrazzini made a sensational debut as Violetta in La traviata at Covent Garden in London, where she was completely unknown, and from that point on she was an international operatic superstar, commanding the highest fees and selling out opera houses and concert halls wherever she performed.

At Boston, the Australian soprano Evelyn Scotney deputised for her in Lucia di Lammermoor, and the critics considered her " even better than Tetrazzini ", an indication of the esteem in which Tetrazzini's name was held.

Tetrazzini had a bitter feud with Nellie Melba at Covent Garden but was generally well liked by other colleagues, including Enrico Caruso and Frieda Hempel.

On a crystal clear Christmas Eve in 1910, at the corner of Market and Kearney near Lotta's Fountain, Tetrazzini climbed a stage platform in a sparkling white gown, surrounded by a throng of an estimated two to three-hundred thousand San Franciscans, and serenaded the city she loved.

Luisa is thought to be eponymous of the popular American dish Turkey Tetrazzini, which allegedly originated in San Francisco, where she resided for years.

Indeed, Adelina Patti and Luisa Tetrazzini were the only Italian sopranos to enjoy star status in London and New York in the late-Victorian and Edwardian eras, while such well-known compatriots and coevals of theirs as Gemma Bellincioni and Eugenia Burzio ( among several others ) failed to please Anglo-Saxon ears because, unlike Patti and Tetrazzini, they possessed unsteady, vibrato-laden voices — see Scott for evaluations of their respective techniques.

Tetrazzini later studied at the Istituto Musicale in Florence.

Tetrazzini made her American debut in San Francisco in 1905.

In 1908, Tetrazzini finally appeared in New York, not at the Metropolitan, but at Oscar Hammerstein's Manhattan Opera Company, again as Violetta and again with great success.

Tetrazzini possessed an extraordinary vocal technique that enabled her to surmount any vocal challenge with almost insolent ease.

She would often say, " I am old, I am fat, but I am still Tetrazzini.

Additionally, there is a reference to Tetrazzini in the 1916 song " When Priscilla Tries to Reach High C ", written by Harry von Tilzer.

A little man with a `` a dark copper color '' skin, he was wearing `` calico trousers and a white cotton short gown ''.

The total operation was a construction project comparable in magnitude with the Panama Canal, but in 1917 time was in short supply ; ;

There was no time in the short Mexican encounter to evolve a solution but the area provided a proving ground for new departures in the near future.

Later, rising ninety, he was beset by publishers for the story of his life and miracles, as he put it, but, calling himself the Needy Knife-grinder, he had spent his time writing short articles and long letters and could not get even a small popular book done.

But he, as I can now retort, was the man who could see so short a distance ahead that after a visit to Russia he gave voice to the famous exclamation: `` I have seen the future and it works ''.

Upon a visit to a local junior college last week, I was shocked to see the young ladies wearing short shorts and the young men wearing Bermuda shorts.

the days seemed short, perhaps because his routine was, each day, almost the same.

He had preached a short sermon, trying to talk man-to-man to the audience, to tell them who he was, what he had done in Macon and Birmingham, and what he proposed to do here.

Life was a short play of tenebrous shadows.

His steps were short and stiff, and, with his head thrown back, his progress was a supercilious strut.

In the cruel clearness of her memory the boy remained unchanged, quick with the delight of laughter, and the pain with which she recalled that short destroyed childhood was still unendurable to her.

Why it was ever forgotten for even a moment I cannot say because it works perfectly for everyone, no matter whether he has short or long thigh-bone lengths!!

One growth center in a short bone -- distal phalanx of the second finger -- was chosen as an example for discussion here, primarily because epiphyseal-diaphyseal fusion, the maturity indicator for Completion in long and short bones, occurs in this center for girls near the menarche and for boys near their comparable pubescent stage.
