Clara Novello
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the similarly named singer born in 1861, see Clara Novello Davies.
Clara Novello (10 June 1818 – 12 March 1908), soprano, was the daughter of the musician and music publisher Vincent Novello.
Her beautiful high soprano and pure style made her one of the greatest vocalists, alike in opera, oratorio and on the concert stage, from 1833 onwards. In 1843 she married Count Gigliucci, but after a few years returned to her profession, and only retired in 1860. Charles Lamb wrote a poem ("To Clara N.") in her praise.
