Comentarios
Antonietta Pastori was born in Milan and studied voice and piano at the Milan Conservatory.
She first drew attention as Gilda in Rigoletto at the Teatro Nuovo in 1951 and was also seen in Niccolo Piccini’s rarely staged opera La buona figliuola at La Scala in 1956.
She was a regular member of the Teatro San Carlo in Naples, and other theatres in Italy. Pastori, gifted with a pure, lyric soprano voice was much acclaimed at the Glyndebourne Festival in 1957, where she appeared as Elvira in Rossini’s L’italiana in Algeri and Nanetta in Verdi’s Falstaff.
She sang in many productions in Italy and internationally and also appeared on Italian television in the 1950s. Her coloratura voice matched her grace and beauty on stage.
