Francesco Lamperti
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Francesco Lamperti (March 11, 1813-May 1, 1892) was an Italian singing teacher.
A native of Savonia, Lamperti attended the Milan Conservatory, where beginning in 1850 he taught for a quarter of a century. Upon leaving the school he taught privately. Among the singers who were his pupils were Emma Albani, Italo Campanini, Marie van Zandt, Marcella Sembrich, Herbert Witherspoon, and Desirée Artôt. His methods were very similar to older Italian methods, and he wrote a number of treatises on the subject. He was also created a Commander of the Crown of Italy for his services to music. Lamperti died in Como in 1892.
