Celestina Boninsegna

Celestina Boninsegna (26 February 1877 – 13 February 1947) was an Italian operatic soprano, known for her interpretations of the heroines in Verdi's operas.

Although particularly eminent in Verdi's works, she sang a wide repertoire during her 25-year career, including Rosaura in the world premiere of Mascagni's Le maschere.

Boninsegna made many recordings between 1904 and 1918, and her voice was one of the most successfully captured on disc during that period.
