Lina Bruna Rasa was born on 24 Sept 1907 in Padua, Italy (Padova) and began musical studies at the age of fourteen. It was very apparent from the beginning that she was a dramatic soprano and that her instincts as an actress would play a major role in her stage development. So impressed were her teachers, that she was persuaded to make an unscheduled debut at Venice’s Teatro La Fenice on 20 May 1925, singing “Suicidio” from La Gioconda. Lina was seventeen years old!
