Claudia Muzio was the Renata Tebaldi of her day. Her earliest teacher created the title role of Maddalena in Verdi's Rigoletto. Muzio herself created the role of Georgette in Il Tabarro. She sang with the greatest tenors of her day, and was held in highest regard by her colleagues.
While frequently criticized for her sometime overindulgent dynamic choices, she was a strong actress, and a beloved star.
