Carlotta Patti of London Truth Dies in Paris
Carlotta Patti renowned for a unique voice died after a long illness linked to childhood deformity and cancer. She lived in a sunlit Paris flat until moving to a sunless home that affected her health. Her sister Mrs Strakosch and husband Ernest de Munck supported her through illness. De Munck, a violinist to the Grand Duke of Saxe Coburg, shared a vocal music school and Paris performances with Patti. She was gregarious, quick to joke, and valued independence though her fame was often misattributed to Adelina. Her eyebrows were a noted defect in an otherwise refined profile similar to Prince Napoleon.
