Maria_Malibran

Maria Malibran (1808-36) was the stuff of legend, there are films about her, even one about her death, in fact in her day she ‘was one of the most celebrated divas of the time –  a singing sensation.’ She was also a composer – here is ‘Rataplan’ sung by Cecilia Bartoli – and more about her short and rather tragic life.
