Her debut was in Florence in 1880 (age 16) as the Marguerite de Valois in Les Huguenots, appearing at the Paris Opéra the same year in the same role. Her Metropolitan opera debut was in 1896 as the soprano soloist in Rossini’s Stabat Mater. This was followed by such principal operatic parts as Ophélie in Hamlet, Aida, Mignon, Micaëla, Gilda, Violetta and Leonora in Il Trovatore, among other roles. She also appeared at Covent Garden, the British stage premiere of Dame Ethel Smyth’s The Wreckers in 1909 (conducted by Beecham) and also had great success in oratorio. She married con- ductor/accompanist/teacher Romualdo Sapio. In her late years she took in music students in her New York home, one roomer having mentioned to me that her music room walls were covered by signed photos of practically every composer and singer active during her career. 4278.

Her debut was in Italy (Comacchio, Teatro Sociale) as Amelia in Un Ballo in Maschera. She subsequently appeared in cities such as Naples, Padova and Madrid as, among others, Santuzza, Brünnhilde, and Fiora (in Amore dei Tre Re). She appears to have relocated to New York around 1915, when she became a pupil and then wife of Astolfo Pescia. She made her New York recital debut in 1917 under the patronage of Caruso, Amato and Martinelli (all close friends of her husband). The season of 1920-21 she was with the Chicago Opera, and also sang during the next few years in San Francisco, Havana, Bogota and San Jose. She appears to have returned to Italy in 1925 where she continued and concluded her career (minus Pescia attached to her name). She appeared in a number of theaters including the Dal Verme (Milano), the Costanzi (Rome) and the Teatro Massimo (Palermo) in roles such as Aida, Gioconda, Turandot, Selika (l’Africaine) and Elena (Mefistofele). Carrara’s few records were made for Odeon around 1913 and then for Pathé in New York (1919). 4246. 11½” Blk. PL Pathé 40183 [E67733-2/E67529-?].

She appeared throughout Italy in leading opera houses, singing principal roles in such operas as Aida, Il Trovatore, La Wally, Isabeau, Tosca, Die Walküre and Germania, to cite a few. In addition, her repertoire included such now forgotten operas as La Nave Rossa (Seppilli) and Sperduti nel Buio (Donaudy). Magliulo created the role of Katiusha in the 1904 Turin world premiere of Alfano’s Risurrezione, conducted by Tullio Serafin.
