Date of birth

It differs from Find-A-Grave. Lincher 15:59, 21 March 2006 (UTC) IT DIFFERS FROM : http://www.chieracostui.com/costui/docs/search/schedaoltre.asp?ID=7109[reply]

l' Alboni non fu allieva della Bertolotti ( o cognomi simili)come riportato da molti dizionari. La notizia probabilmente diffusa dal Fetis, non trova riscontri in Pougin o in altri lavori sulla cantante .

Greatly admired by Walt Whitman

The poet Walt Whitman, who was passionate about Opera, adored and admired Alboni. He was in agreement with all the European and American music critics that Alboni far surpassed Jenny Lind. Alboni is discreetly referenced in several poems in Leaves Of Grass by Whitma. 68.38.100.128 (talk) 03:21, 30 April 2009 (UTC)buddmar[reply]

Norma

Although plump Alboni was not surely a tragic actress, the unsourced statement about her "histrionic failure" in Norma appears to be incompatible for instance with Longfellow’s: "Alboni was sublime in Norma, last night," he wrote to his best friend Charles Sumner on 15 February 1853. "Would you had been with us, in our snug box." (quoted in Christoph Irmscher, Public Poet, Private Man: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow at 200, University of Massachusetts Press, 2009, p. 6. ISBN 9781558495845). Longfellow was very keen on opera, somewhat of a connoisseur.--Jeanambr (talk) 13:24, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Having found the source that states the performance of Norma was "a failure" (not a "histrionic" one, however), I have modified the article myself, removing the Template 'Dubious':--Jeanambr (talk) 17:19, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
