Summary:Jenny Lind's tribute to Adelina Patti, "There is only one Niagara; and there is only one Patti," is perhaps the most memorable of artists' tributes to the operatic diva Adelina Patti
She was a favorite among royalty and composers alike, especially Rossini, Auber, Meyerbeer, Berlioz, and Verdi, who declared her "an artist by nature, so perfect that perhaps there has never been her equal." Adelina Patti (1843-1919) was a vocal phenomenon, a glamorous celebrity, and a formidable legend renowned for both a nonpareil professional career and a deliciously intriguing private life
At the height of her career she was the world's singer of singers and the toast of three continents; to this day she remains, relatively speaking, one of the highest-paid performers in music history
