Extract

Everyone who saw Cosima Esposito sing at La Scala that night knew that they had witnessed something truly special. The little American soprano with the enormous voice had given a performance that would go down in opera history. She had sung a Tosca to rival that of any of the great divas: Maria Callas, Joan Sutherland, Montserrat Caballe. Cosima Esposito had now established herself firmly in their ranks. But even as the audience, stunned for just a moment by the drop of the curtain on such magic, now erupted into rapturous applause, Cosima could not enjoy her triumph.
