The Early Music ShowThe Empress of Magnificent Taste and Pleasure
Saturday 9 October 2004 13:00-14:00 (Radio 3)
Teresa Cornelys arrived penniless in England in the autumn of 1759. Yet, little more than a year later, she was an international Opera star, and owned London's most successful entertainment business.
Judith Summers, author of a biography of this incredible woman, talks to Lucie Skeaping about Teresa, who had a rumoured love affair with Gluck and was mother to Casanova's child.
Featuring music by Gluck, Handel, Thomas Arne and JC Bach.
