Synopsis

Product Description
The short life of Anna Bon di Venezia (c. 1740-1767) remains mysterious, yet intriguing. Little is known about her early years, although she referred to herself in the dedications to her compositions as Anna Bon di Venezia. Apparently her parents were successful, her mother as an opera singer and her father as a stage designer, and eventually all three were hired at the court of Prince Nikolaus von Esterhazy. The last known historical date for Anna Bon is in 1767, when she married an Italian tenor. Following a pattern typical of women composers and performers of the time, she apparently abandoned her musical career after marriage. Fortunately, however, she left us a tantalizing musical legacy of two works.
