Random picture of the day (12 September 2014)

Picture of the day Nancy Storace (1765–1817) was an English operatic soprano. Born in London, this child prodigy first performed in public at age eight before moving to Italy in 1778, where she soon embarked on a highly successful career. In 1783 Emperor Joseph II brought her to Vienna, where she starred in his new Italian opera company, appearing in works by Mozart and other composers. During a performance in 1785, her voice failed, and it never fully recovered. However, she was able to continue her career both in Vienna and later London, retiring by 1808. Several roles were written for her, including Susanna in Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, and she helped her brother Stephen's operas find success.Engraving: Pietro Bettelini; restoration: Adam Cuerden [[ |]] To add this template to your userpage, use {{User:My Chemistry romantic/Templates/Random POTD}}
