Menorabi e Contest Between Cuzzoni and Faustina In Opera
Summary of the historical rivalry between sopranos Cuzzoni and Faustina during the 1720s in London. Both rivaled for public favor at the Haymarket and beyond, with private slander and public spats, leading to contracts and a split of support. Cuzzoni left for Italy, later subsisting by button making. Faustina remained in England briefly, then married musician Hasse and settled in Vienna.
