A rising young star in Italy, Maria was forced to put her early fame behind her when her father moved the family to Ottawa in 1959. Determined to have a career as an opera singer, she persisted and through a chance meeting with the wife of Governor General Michener, she was offered a scholarship to the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. An illustrious career was to follow, singing alongside opera's greats including Luciano Pavarotti. After three failed marriages Maria settled once again in Canada accepting a position at McGill University where she now teaches Canadian opera's future stars. <48mn>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
