Brigida River The Brigida River is a river of Pernambuco state in western Brazil.
Brigida Banti Her origins are rather obscure and the very data of her birth are very dubious: she is thought to have been born in Crema, Lombardy, but some sources say she may have been born in Monticelli d'Ongina, a village in the province of Piacenza, which is located nearer to Cremona, in 1756 or possibly in 1758. She is the daughter of Carlo Giorgi, a street mandolin player; she too started her career as a street singer, either following her father around, or, according to different accounts, joining in with the double-bassist Domenico Dragonetti, when he was still a boy. The only established fact is that, in 1777–1778, on her travels around southern Europe, she reached Paris where a meeting with an important person in the profession completely was to change her life. However, sources are at variances as to the identity of that person. According to some of them, it was composer Antonio Sacchini, who quickly trained her and introduced to the Opéra Comique, while other sources suggest that she caught the attention of Anne-Pierre-Jacques Devismes, the shortly to-be Director of the Académie Royale de Musique, and the Opéra ought to have been the theatre she was engaged for. Details about her Parisian sojourn are scant and uncertain. She moved to London at an undetermined date, and there she met dancer and choreographer Zaccaria Banti, whom she married in Amsterdam in 1779 and whose surname she adopted as her stage-name.
Brigida Banti After dropping round in Vienna in 1780, Banti decided to return to Italy when she was engaged at the Teatro San Benedetto in Venice for the 1782–1783 carnival season. Her performances in the premières of "Piramo e Tisbe" by Francesco Bianchi (who was to become her favourite composer), and " Attalo, re di Bitinia" by Giuseppe Sarti, as well as in a revival of Bertoni’s " Orfeo ed Euridice" were very successful by all accounts, raising enthusiasm in a listener out of the ordinary, such as the Irish tenor Michael Kelly. After Venice, she later sang in Turin, Milan, in Venice again, and also, in 1786-1787, in Warsaw, where she performed in operas gy Giordani, Persichini and Tarchi. Finally, in the same 1787, she arrived at Teatro San Carlo in Naples, where she created the role of "Sofonisba " in Bianchi’s "Scipione Africano", and also interpreted operas by Paisiello, Anfossi and Guglielmi. In 1789 Banti returned to Venice’s Teatro San Benedetto where she was the first protagonist of Anfossi’s "Zenobia in Palmira", which became one of her favourite roles, as well as "Semiramide", a character she created in Bianchi’s "La vendetta di Nino", at the end of the following year. In June 1792 she took part in the inauguration of the new theatre La Fenice in Venice, opposite the castrato Gaspare Pacchierotti (who exerted a strong artistic influence upon her throughout her career), in the first performance of Paisiello’s I giuochi d’Agrigento.
