Lina Bruna Rasa should have made it to the Met

In the case of Lina Bruna Rasa, the reasons why she never sang at the Met are painfully clear.

Nevertheless, it was a great loss. Given her personal tragedy, however, this was not the greatest misfortune that befell her. I am very glad that we have this complete live recording from The Hague, conducted by Mascagni himself, and with her in great form.
