Ritratto
Before going on stage
The tension, the waiting, the dim backstage light. In that moment, Lia Origoni was not just a singer: she was a magnetic presence, a living echo of the theatre itself.

Lia Origoni – The Violetera on the Stage of the Berlin Scala
Lia Origoni – Among the Legends of 20th-Century European Theatre
It took three years – a long time – to reconstruct, as reliably as possible, the portrait of Lia Origoni, the singer and actress, based on clear memories and documented sources. But also to bring to light her personality and her story – a life deeply rooted in its time. A time that saw her cross paths with figures such as Goebbels, King Farouk, Luigi Einaudi, Clara Calamai, Anna Magnani, Antongiulio Bragaglia, Totò, Tito Schipa, Severino Gazzelloni, Renato Guttuso, Giorgio Strehler, the De Filippo brothers, Renato Rascel, Paolo Poli, Maurice Chevalier, Caterina Valente, Cary Grant, and Mercedes Sosa. Not to mention her presence on some of the world’s most iconic stages: the Wintergarten and the Berlin Scala, the Moulin Rouge and the Salle Pleyel in Paris, La Scala in Milan, the San Carlo in Naples, the Sistine Chapel, and the Rome Opera House – just to name a few.
