Santa Biondo (December 3, 1892, San Mauro Castelverde, Sicily – February 15, 1989, Stamford, Connecticut) was an American opera star whose career spanned from 1927 to 1938. ==Early life and career== Santa Biondo was born on December 3, 1892 on Via Serra, San Mauro Castelverde, Sicily.〔"Atti di Nascita", Ufficio dello Stato Civile, San Mauro Castelverde, Palermo. 1892. Record 194.〕 She immigrated to 106 Wallace Street, New Haven, Connecticut with her father Mauro, her mother Giuseppa, her sister Angela, and her brother Mauro Jr. on October 2, 1907 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Santa Biondo name search at ellisisland.org )〕 They were received by Santa's older brother, Domenico Biondo, who was already living at Wallace Street at that time.〔Ellis Island ship passenger manifest for Santa Biondo and family, 1907.〕 Three years later, in 1910, the United States Census shows the family living in New Haven at the same address. The census indicates that Biondo was 18 years old and working in a tailor's shop.〔United States Population Census, 1910, New Haven, Connecticut.〕 By 1920, the family had moved to Saint John Street in New Haven, and Santa Biondo was married to her first husband, Salvatore Mazullo.〔United States Population Census, 1920, New Haven, Connecticut.〕 Mazullo was the proprietor of a tailor shop, perhaps the same one where Santa Biondo worked before. However, Biondo's destiny was in music. Encouraged by her brother in-law, Biondo was tutored by professional opera teachers in New Haven and New York, including Enrico Rosati, whose other famous students include Beniamino Gigli and Mario Lanza. Biondo began her professional career in 1927, when she went on tour with the San Carlo Opera Company and the American Opera Company. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Santa Biondo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
