	Renata Tebaldi
		Renata Ersilia Clotilde Tebaldi was born on February 1, 1922, in Pesaro, Italy.
		Tebaldi was always a favorite of the Met, and in the 1962-63 season, she convinced Rudolf Bing to stage a revival of Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur.
		Unfortunately, Tebaldi was experiencing somewhat of a vocal crisis, and members of the audience noticed that she sounded tired and her voice had developped a dull, strained sort of heaviness.

	Renata Tebaldi (Pesaro, Italy, February 1, 1922 — San Marino, December 19, 2004)
		Tebaldi was celebrated for her beautiful voice, her sincerity of expression and direct communication, and her warm and generous personality both onstage and off.
		It is for this reason that Tebaldi had the longest string of sold-out performances of her generation at the Met — two hundred and sixty-seven performances in seventeen seasons.
		Tebaldi spent part of the year at her summer home in San Marino, and would return to her apartment in Milan during the opera season.

		Callas was a dramatic soprano with formidable coloratura technique, and she could sing roles from the heaviest dramatic soprano roles to the lightest coloratura showpieces.
		Tebaldi always considered herself a lyric soprano, and she centered her career on verismo and late Verdi roles where her limited upper range and lack of florid technique did not pose a problem.
		Tebaldi herslef felt that this was ultimately good for both their careers, since it aroused so much interest in the two of them.

	Renata Tebaldi: A Portait, available on VAI
		Renata Tebaldi’s numerous appearances on television made her unique among her contemporaries.
		(Though Tebaldi never performed Cavalleria Rusticana on stage, she did make a stunning studio recording of the opera.) The two Butterfly arias from 1959, radiantly sung, are amongst Tebaldi’s first TV appearances, taken from a program that also holds the distinction of being one of the earliest extant color telecasts.
		By 1967, Tebaldi was clearly comfortable in the spinto-dramatic repertoire with an awesome use of the chest register in the Cavalleria and Gioconda arias.

		In a performance originally aired on February 2, 1959, Tebaldi is joined by conductor Eric Leinsdorf in performing the compositions by Puccini.

	AM - Italian soprano Renata Tebaldi dies
		The rivalry between Tebaldi and fellow soprano, Maria Callas, was legendary.
		As it was, Tebaldi responded and, if not quite so openly as Callas, certainly she got her digs in, and it does appear that she was at least in some way instrumental in having Callas sacked from the Metropolitan Opera in 1958, in order that she could maintain her own dominance there.
		But where Callas paradoxically seems to grow with posterity, Tebaldi has faded since her retirement — I think she had a gentle and pleasant retirement, and it remains to be seen whether we will return to that voice and remember the glories of it.

		I heard Tebaldi many times at the Metropolitan, and no recording can truly give a full idea of the radiance of her voice at its best.
		Yes, if you got Tebaldi in her vocal prime and Callas in her vocal prime to sing together on stage, the Italian would blow away the Greek with her enormous volume.
		Few singers have performed "Tusca" with the flourish and brilliance of Tebaldi, and her arias, filled with her rich, creamy, full-bodied voice are stunning even to this day.
