At the Teatro La Fenice last night Mariella Devia, born April 1948, sang the first of three farewell performances of her final role.

It s 45 years since she made her debut as Lucia in Treviso, becoming a stalwart of bel canto performance.

Last night’s applause lasted ten minutes and included a standing ovation from the orchestra.
