Madama Europa

Female, Person

Who is Madama Europa?

Madama Europa was the nickname, or perhaps the real name, of Europa Rossi sister of the Jewish violinist and composer Salamone Rossi, who was one of the first opera singers.

She probably took her name from appearances in the mythical role of Europa in an intermezzo before 1600 at the court of Mantua.

She probably died with her brother when, following the 1630 defeat by imperial troops of the Gonzagas and end of the Gonzaga court, imperial soldiers sacked the Jewish ghetto.
