Virginia Ferni Germano (16 December 1849 — 4 February 1934) was an Italian soprano opera singer. Early lifeVirginia Ferni was born in Turin. Her mother was an actress, Francesca Ferni; her father was a cellist, Antonio Ferni; her siblings Angelo and Teresa were both musicians too. Virginia Ferni studied both violin and voice as a girl.[1][2] CareerVirginia Ferni debuted on the opera stage in 1876, in Charles Gounod's Faust, at Madrid's Teatro Reale.[3] She was the first to play Bizet's Carmen in Italian, at Milan's La Scala in 1885.[4] She created the title role of Alfredo Catalani's Edmea when it premiered in 1896, and of Catalani's Loreley, when it was first performed in 1890.[5] Arturo Toscanini made his professional conducting debut in Italy at an 1886 performance of Edmea starring Virginia Ferni Germano.[6] Her 1886 appearance as Mignon in Milan prompted a London newspaper correspondent to comment that "her appearance is, to say the least, hardly suited for portraying a very youthful gipsy girl," but to concede that "her matured artistic abilities and fine voice sustain the part in a manner highly acceptable to her auditors."[7] After retiring from the stage she taught voice in Turin. Among her students were Alba Anzelotti, Bianca Lenzi, and Marisa Morel.[2][8] Personal lifeVirginia Ferni married Carlo Germano, a violinist. Their son Carlo (1880-1916) was also a violinist.[1][2] Virginia Ferni Germano died in 1934, aged 84 years, in Turin.[9] Her collection of autographed photos of other performers is archived in the Fondazione Giorgio Cini art collections.[10] References1. ^1 Elizabeth Forbes, "Virginia Ferni-Germano" Grove Music Online (2002). 2. ^1 2 Karl-Josef Kutsch, Leo Riemens, eds., [https://books.google.com/books?id=dsfq_5dFeL0C&lpg=PA1436&ots=b-P1scqGOv&dq=Francesca%20Ferni&pg=PA1436#v=onepage&q=Francesca%20Ferni&f=false Großes Sängerlexikon] (Walter De Gruyter 2012): 1436. {{ISBN|9783598440885}} 3. ^Virginia Ferni Germano chronology, La voce antica. 4. ^Victoria Etnier Villamil, [https://books.google.com/books?id=oW0pDwAAQBAJ&lpg=PT185&ots=WHm6gP6Gdr&dq=Carmen%20Virginia%20Ferni&pg=PT185#v=onepage&q=Carmen%20Virginia%20Ferni&f=false "O ma Carmen": Bizet's Fateful Gypsy in Portrayals from 1875 to the Present] (McFarland 2017): 175. {{ISBN|9781476663241}} 5. ^Program, [https://www.loc.gov/resource/musschatz.10290.0/?sp=4 Loreley] Teatro Regio (Torino 1890): 4; in the U.S. RISM Libretto Project, Albert Schatz collection, Library of Congress. 6. ^Harvey Sachs, [https://books.google.com/books?id=8HVIDQAAQBAJ&lpg=PT42&dq=Virginia%20Ferni-Germano&pg=PT42#v=onepage&q=Virginia%20Ferni-Germano&f=false Toscanini: Musician of Conscience] (Liveright Publishing 2017). {{ISBN|9781631492723}} 7. ^[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/24463260/virginia_ferni_germano_1886/ "Amusements in Italy"] The Era (May 15, 1886): 13. via Newspapers.com{{open access}} 8. ^Virginia Ferni-Germano, ESDF Opera. 9. ^[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/24463065/virginia_ferni_germano_1934/ "Virginia Ferni Germano, Once Noted Soprano, Dies"] Chicago Tribune (February 6, 1934): 16. via Newspapers.com{{open access}} 10. ^Virginia Ferni Germano, Fondazione Giorgio Cini.
