Miriam Pirazzini

Miriam Pirazzini was a powerhouse Italian mezzo-soprano who lit up opera stages in the mid-20th century with her rich, dramatic voice. Born in 1918, she became known for her fiery performances in Verdi roles and verismo operas, earning her spots at legendary venues like La Scala and the Teatro San Carlo. Fans of historic recordings might recognize her from live performances like *Norma* (1958) or *Nabucco* (1959), where her vocal intensity and emotional depth shine. She had a knack for bringing complex characters to life, whether in Puccini’s gritty *Il Tabarro* or Weber’s *Oberon* (1957). Married to baritone Carlo Tagliabue, Pirazzini left a lasting mark on Italy’s opera scene before passing away in 2002. Her recordings remain a treasure for vintage opera lovers, capturing the raw energy of a true diva in her prime.
